How does the Tesla advertised range compare to the advertised range of other EV makers: less accurate, or similarly inaccurate?

edit: "advertised" I mean the range shown on the dash. I.e. the range communicated by the car itself, as relevant to this article.

I mean, I realise that reading the article is considered most improper on this website, but it _is_ addressed.

Added language to clarify what I mean

It’s a bit average. It’s not crazy optimistic like some Chinese brands or a bit pessimistic like some German brands.

Here is a Norwegian winter test in real conditions: https://nye.naf.no/elbil/bruke-elbil/test-rekkevidde-vinter-...

You can use a translator (Google, DeepL, chatGPT…) but the Arabic numbers are easy to spot.

This might help but requires you do some cross referencing and math: https://ev-database.org/cheatsheet/range-electric-car

This is better as it shows the claimed range, and the actual range: https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/

That's good info. However, I can clarify by saying "advertised range" I didn't mean the range touted in marketing materials, but the range remaining shown on the dashboard

Read the article. This is covered in depth and it's quite informative.

I frequently drive a Skoda Enyaq. The 'official range' figure is 330 miles, but we actually get 250-290 miles in real life usage depending on temperature. When you turn the car on with a full battery, the range estimate for us reflects actual distance not 'official' distance and seems extremely accurate and trustworthy.

One datum: our 2014 BMW i3 (ev, no range extender) consistently outperformed its rated range.
