I see. For a regular gas car, the 4 miles per kWh is wildly optimistic -- 134 miles per gallon. The kWh per mile (just from tank to wheels) would be something like 4 times higher than that. (1 kWh per mile = 33 miles per gallon). So that 8.5 kWh per day from manufacturing would be on top of something like 41 kWh per day of driving, not the 10.3 from the post up there.

Sure, I get kind of lost trying to figure out what you are saying when you're addressing me about someone else's comments that neither of us may fully understand the thinking behind.

However you look at it, Tesla or not, 10 kWh leaves out a lot which was my original point.
