> It is even more complicated for a Tesla owner because the range displayed on the dashboard does not factor in the effects of temperature, driving efficiency or post-sale modifications. It is only when driver requests directions to a destination that the vehicle begins accounting for temperature and driving conditions.

That would be ludicrous. Of course we expect anything from a Musk-led company nowadays, but for some reason I still doubt it. ICE vehicles have been using historical data in their mileage estimates for tens of years (my parents' 2000s lower middle class car has it) and the point of Tesla during the Model S era was to be uniquely good. I can not believe that they would have intentionally included a woefully inaccurate range indicator in a time in which "range anxiety" was still a thing. No way.

Keep in mind that this "article" is pretty much entirely an ad to perpetuate the company's founding premise that EVs' range estimates are bad and you need them to help.

I don't believe it.
