Is Tesla pumping up its numbers more than other EV manufacturers? Seems to me that they all put the very best numbers forward but they have to show how they got them and there are test standards that they have to meet. As that article you posted said, it's natural to see 20% swings simply due to changes in air temperature. To what end? We can split hairs on EV mileage specs all we want and still, bicycles are cleaner tech than EV's.
The thing is, I wasn't trying to sell Tesla based upon those numbers. I was responding to
@mooray 's assertion that because Tesla at full throttle "used as much power in 30 miles as a household does in a single day" means it is dirty tech. His complaints could be applied to all EV and many aren't true. In that context, a more realistic 3.x miles per kWH still makes my point.
Regarding Tesla as a car company. I'm repelled by the hype and waiting for the next shoe to drop regarding that company. From what I can tell, i it can go either way, up or down. The hype and Musk's own weirdness are also driving a lot of irrational hate on the company. There is a lot of froth surrounding that company and I'm not buying into the hype one way or the other.
