Also, the 1st version of the Edmunds report didn't account for the buffer all batteries have while showing "zero range." Turns out the Teslas have more of that buffer. (Though Tesla itself is kinda coy about how big that buffer is, for obvious reasons.)

Yeah, running an EV battery completely dead can be catastrophic to the battery so they try to scare the driver into recharging early. I think the Model 3 LR has about 25 miles of buffer.
