    You can’t optimise for the test, thats what VW did, they optimised fuel flow, power, etc. A)and thats what got the huge fine because its cheating. They didn’t get out and push the car round or fit hidden fuel tanks.

    You’re the one who defined these tests as real world, me i will take an average of results excluding outliers adding weight to real owners results.

    For this, nobody was getting over 300 miles from normal, mixed driving. This test at 330 miles ish, lmao.

    I also don’t live in a fantasy land that the car can get this level of economy. Also the 2026 year did have some modest boosts to efficency, nowhere near a 25% increase that these results show.

    Honestly this pedantry and lack of any evidence all you have? You haven’t even looked at the details of the test for the 2026 car.

      Yes you absolutely can.

      Again, they did not “optimize” anything, they cheated by running a completely different fuel map in production than they did in testing.

      You’re the one who defined these tests as real world

      Call them what you want, I’m not engaging in a semantics argument over it.

      real owners results

      LOL sounds a lot like “real world” results to me.

      Also the 2026 year did have some modest boosts to efficency

      Tesla does not have model years. They had small increases with the “highland” Model 3. This does not coincide with the changes from EPA.

      Honestly this pedantry and lack of any evidence all you have?

      Your failure to understand the situation is not pedantry.
