We were getting 1000km between fill ups (60L tank) on a family road trip in a bog standard 1.8L gasoline (!) Ford Mondeo, seating 2 adults 2 kids and with trunk loaded to the brim and A/C running on full.

Really difficult to be excited or impressed by these "records". Both Tesla and H2

Filling my Mondeo tank costs me about 70+€. Recharging a Tesla at home costs 1 or 2€.

The record is not the autonomy by itself, but is about getting the same autonomy for 35-70x less money and potentially 0Co2e emission.

A full charge for 15$ versus how much for fuel? And do you pollute?
