Jag har inga problem att underskrida EPA-förbrukningen för min bil sommartid. Det gör bilen i princip jämt på landsväg om jag någorlunda följer hastighetsgränsen.
Men som sagt handlar inte reuters rapportering primärt om det. Länk till orginalet:

”Then, when the battery fell below 50% of its maximum charge, the algorithm would show drivers more realistic projections for their remaining driving range, this person said. To prevent drivers from getting stranded as their predicted range started declining more quickly, Teslas were designed with a “safety buffer,” allowing about 15 miles (24 km) of additional range even after the dash readout showed an empty battery, the source said.
The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said.”
“Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged,” the person said, adding: “When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.”
