Teslas Calculate 62 Miles As 65 On Purpose, According To This Video

That is how you get more range after you reach a 0 percent state of charge.

Do drivers believe the range automakers inform them of for a vehicle? Most don’t. Is that the reason fuel tanks have a reserve and EVs to have a battery buffer? We have seen that happen on a recent Carwow video. The fact is that manufacturers prefer to play it safe, offering more range than they officially inform. In Tesla’s case, that is done in a peculiar way, according to this Tesla Killer YouTube video.

When the battery pack is fully charged, the company informs a given range. In this case, it was 489 km for a 99 percent charge. That range can be attained if you drive your car at the EPA energy consumption constant. The YouTube channel explains that in the video below – we have placed it in the precise moment it does that:

The presenter did not wait for 200 km on the odometer. Instead, he waited for the range to drop more 100 km compared to the first measurement, or 284 km left. At that time, the odometer showed 192.8 km, or 7.2 km less than it should.

To sum this up, the video presenter calculates further down the line that Tesla would discount about 105 km of range for every 100 km the car runs. That is a 5 percent difference. When the battery charge supposedly reaches 0, it still has around 5 percent of charge remaining.
