To clarify, yeah, the yellow "70f" bars are just completely wrong, at least from the Teslas I'm familiar with.

It claims a Long Range Model 3 like we have (310mi range) gets 215 miles, a 100kWh Model S about the same, and a 75kWh Model X barely over 150.

They don't list the methodology for the yellow bar, but since it's not experimental (they're comparing estimated and actual winter range with the dotted blue vs solid blue bars), presumably the yellow should be rated range, not tested range.

EDIT: Oh, now I see. If you scroll down to the car, they are, in fact, testing real world range at all temps. Claiming a long range model 3 gets 60% of its rated range at 70f is a bit mind-boggling, though. Ours has over 70,000 miles on it and while a full charge is now rated at more like 290mi, you'll certainly get over 200, even at 80mph.
