Nitpicking but the test should end when 70mph is no longer capable of being reached (due to reduced power). May only be a difference of 1-2 miles, but future manufacturers could cheat and reduce speed to 45mph and eke out 5-10 more miles at that speed. On one hand that is nice for being able to reach the next DCFC station; however, that’s not indicative of a real 70mph speed test (due to aerodynamics, etc).

Me when I want to use these chargers on my way home (i do): “God, I hope Kyle isn’t there”

Awsome test and very good results from all of them. A lot of people give X or Y as a Tesla alternative but the reality is that Teslas go farther with a much smaller battery which translates into faster charging, cheaper charging, more lightweight and much more efficient. Can’t wait to see what the Model Y facelift can do. ( when it comes out )

lol, this sub can’t take Tesla winning at something, I’m e they’ll find a way to turn it into a negative thing.

I’d like to see it with some real world 80-85 MPH highway speeds throw in.

Wow so most of them actually beat the EPA estimate in real world testing? That’s amazing!

Having the Lucid and Cybertruck as rescue vehicles is pretty neat, now Kyle and friends really can drive cars ’till they stop moving. The fact that you can shuffle charge between cars on the side of the road makes it feel like it’s actually the future too.

Lucid, go home!
