They should’ve timed how long each one was driving in the parking lots. People have done 800ish miles in the model S by merely traveling at low speeds while avoiding any acceleration. So the ones who played it more safe, exited the highway at a higher range, and roamed around the parking lots for longer periods probably had a much higher advantage. Then there’s also the speed and acceleration differences between the drivers in their lots that also increased the margin of error. Unfortunately, this test lost a lot of its accuracy after the drivers took their exits.

with normal use you charge the battery to full overnight, when going on long trips plan for stops when your battery gets down to 15-20% if you use dc fast charging getting to 80% battery should only take 20-30 min so basically a bathroom break and getting a snack and you good to go.

Evan Johnson the overwhelming lack of chargers in rural US and Canada makes electric cars sound like an absolute nightmare. Based on the amount of Tesla’s I see parked on the side of the road with no owner in sight tells me that the idiots from California don’t plan their trips properly. These cars would work fine in town if people could settle with slow dc chargers, but in my area electric cars are far from ideal for most of the population.

[@evanjohnson1299]

@@specialestness how often to you refill you gas car? I fill mine around every 2 weeks, but with EV's(especially Teslas) you start with a full tank every day and have over 300 miles of driving before you have to fill up, so 90% of driving is the same, when taking long trips you have to do a little pre-planning or let Tesla's gps system plot a course for you there are enough superchargers to get anywhere in the US if you follow the system.

[@specialestness]

Evan Johnson the 300 mile range is obviously not applicable where I live. We get extreme winds and have prolonged steep inclines followed by very gradual declines. I typically get about 2 or 3 days on a tank. Furthermore, I can’t imagine the extreme temperature variances is very good for an electric cars battery. I can make my normal commute and see a temperature shift upwards of 60*f. My closest DC fast chargers are Tesla supercharges...90 miles away...and that’s completely off the path I would ever think about taking. I make 2-3 bigger road trips in a given year to meet family. Taking the specified Tesla route would add over 3 hours to my trip...not to mention the extra stop time. My closest Tesla dealer is 13 hours away or 6 if I want to attempt to import one to the states. As I said earlier, these cars are probably great for some people, but definitely not for the majority of the people around me.

I’m a vehicle recovery technician and Iv recovered many of these cars. The Tesla tow mode is not for flat or support tows what it dose is raises the suspension for easier loading into a flatbed truck if the tow truck isn’t a super low access truck. For example a normal tilt and slide tow trucks loading angle on the bed might be too steep so the bumper would scrape and be damaged. The Nissan Leaf sometimes locks out as do all of them but the interesting fact is that they all have a normal 12v battery much like any internal combustion engine car dose, so all you do is get a battery jump pack and get some power into the car to get them into neutral. As in a case I had just yesterday if u don’t do this the vehicle may not let u charge it until the neutral or park position is selected hope this helps

@9600GTMAN Why are you so angry? Tesla surely is not shitty. It is the one which started the Electric vehicle revolution. Now everyone is following them which is a good thing. Now there is electric, Hydrogen and many other alternatives coming up. Tesla is better built, better quality, has advanced technology and software.

9600GTMAN try to find a used model 3. they hold value better than any new ford, chevy, toyota etc

It's not a matter of honesty - it's a matter of guessing how most people will use their cars. So it's a matter of gathering data. They base the ranges on a set of lab tests (WLTP) that are never 100% accurate. Want more range? Slow down. That's the biggest thing really.

@@esaedvik Let them prove to me they haven't lied. Because it sure looks to me as if they have.

Ya Tesla went the farthest but at only 76% of claimed distance. The Kia really shines with 90%.

Did he used seat heating, air conditioning? You can cheat at so many levels.

[@tehdime]

@@frankoptis they set the rules for the test. why would they cheat? kia clearly won this one.

Bryce Jeannot 78%

You could see at the start of the video that their starting level of power wasn't even across the board - some of the cars had 95% battery, and others 100%, so as much as it is a real life valid test with the cars being charged overnight, i don't think you should take these particular numbers as a new everyday range standard for these cars - there are still variables. I.e. a tesla could do better than 76% in warmer weather, with less baggage, and on an easier route (like less inclines along the way, less traffic) - same goes for fossil fuel cars, btw. Still, every brand tends to list range under ideal conditions, so it's nice to see what it would be closer to in real life scenarios.

There was 3 people in the tesla for at least most of the film.

Ok this is a great test. Real world test. Loved it and reminded me of my years in UK. Big challenge moving forward for electrics - why spend the big money for the luxury? That Niro would work great and has 90% efficiency. £15000 savings over Tesla and £30000 over Merc and Audi have to make people think about what they really want out of these. Tesla long/term is proven - that’s Hyundai’s challenge. But it’s a great start for them. Again, thanks for doing this. PS - and this is all before costs come down on manufacturing batteries
