I’m actually within about 5% ± on my Model S Plaid depending on the time of year and that’s hardly driving conservatively (maybe luck?). Oddly enough, my Model S has been more efficient than my Model 3 LR was, which I know makes no sense. But pretty much across the board for all the same drives, I use less kWh, it boggles my mind.
This is based on data from Tessie.
All that said, I realize the article says other manufacturers have more accurate fuel economies. I’m sorry, but no, my friend’s leaf is absolutely wrong by an extremely large margin, especially in winter, and has been since day one. It’s not even close.
