I agree that driving fast uses a lot of energy too. The EPA figures are not realistic. Not in a ICE and certainly not in a Tesla. does anybody actualy drive like the EPA tests?speed = wind. There is some miscommunication between you and the service manager, or he doesn't know what he's talking about. There's a reason EPA consumption for EVs is less in city than on the highway, and why hybrid vehicles generally have higher city mpg values than highway. There's a reason MPGe is higher in the city cycle than highway for both the Model 3 and R1T, and it's not because city driving is more efficient. All things equal start/stop uses more energy, yes. But cruising at 75 uses more energy than the typical start/stop in a city at lower speeds.
andā¦ the RT1 will less efficient for sure.
buyer beware is how I will end this ongoing debate. Good luck to all of you.
