The lack of a Tesla in the mix despite it being the most common EV by a significant margin strikes me as bizarre.

Probably can’t give actual figures without Elon throwing a bitch fit

It also wouldn't score well because it wouldn't get close enough to its rated mileage, while the Niro EV beat its rated range by 38%.

The Niro figures were interesting and align with what I see in my RWD Model 3, despite the SUV shape.

He’s too busy running Twitter/X into the ground and having childish tantrums about Zuck at the moment.

Tesla's range has been tested to death in optimal and real world drives.

But not as a direct comparison in the same conditions as the others cars here.

It would have been a useful and interesting data point. Even if you don’t care for Tesla, you can see how the other cars square up against them.

Pretty sure the vehicles were provided by the automakers themselves. Given Tesla's recent range controversy, I doubt they'd want to participate.
