Did they control for how Hyundai or others lock off capacity when new and let you use more as the car ages to keep range the same? Im guessing tesla gives you full battery access at the start to inflate the numbers while other are more concerned with the warranty

There's varying things from every manufacturer, with some more generous than others, but all stemming from a couple real-world problems: 1) You really don't want to strand your buyers. But not only sometimes will they miscalculate and go past 0%, but *you don't actually know where 0% really is*.

Here's how Tesla in specific handles them. 1) Tesla is very generous with this compared to competitors. They target something like a -10 to -15% below-zero buffer. This means that even with the randomness of poor estimation, you're unlikely to run out at zero. (A side effect of this: EPA tests..

So it's run by a Nazi and now the evidence is in that Tesla produces lower quality vehicles (crap batteries to go with phantom breaking, fragile steering and suspension components etc). Why are the sheep still buying this junk?

Looking at the results, a more useful conclusion would be that batteries retain more range than expected. The rest is not as useful considering that data origin, like vehicle age and usage type, is not well controlled.

What does the Flash Test metric mean? I am not a Tesla fanboy but the Model 3 and Y had higher numbers relative to the other vehicles. Also, is there any correlation to the number of DC Fast Charges?
