First: tests show the P85D has about 415 kW of power or about 556 hp.
Second: Most (if not all) car manufacturers use the total theoretical capacity of the battery, not the usable (Volvo, Nissan, BMW, VW just to name a few).
Third: There are standardized tests (NEDC in Europe) that make it possible to compare vehicles. It is common knowledge that these tests do not represent realistic daily driving. This is the same for every car, however these tests make it possible to compare vehicles.
Tesla would be crazy not to use the outcome of the standardized test for range if all other car manufacturers do.
I do however agree that Tesla should add an option to use (for example) the average consumption of the car to calculate the range. I think this would help a lot of people better understand how far they can drive at any given moment.
I just wanted to express my feelings...
I chosen a type of car following by parameters...
...and now I am finding out that these parameters are not real.
I feel betrayed. Otherwise I have to admit...
...that I love my car because it is excellent :smile:
hmmm...:crying:
