It's easy to order four or five thousand calories at the Cheesecake Factory. A salad, an entrée, and a slice of cheesecake seems like a reasonable order but is actually several days worth of food.

No, vegans eat food.

The optimistic mode is alleged to ignore outside temperature. This is mentioned on the second page of the article:

>Other data cited by Reuters found that Tesla cars "almost always calculated that they could travel more than 90 percent of their advertised EPA range estimates regardless of external temperatures."

All EVs encounter cold weather, but most of them pretty much hit their range ratings regardless. Why should Tesla be different?

My car generally exceeds its efficiency rating by around 15%.

The sort of alleged malfeasance is not normal. Edmund's claims most EVs meet or exceed their range estimates, while Tesla systematically inflates range estimates by a third.
