This one actually seems fair - literally the only reason I ever considered Tesla was the range. The only reason I didn’t buy any other EV was because I was waiting for them to catch up to the Tesla range. Turns out that advantage was a lie - I hope their competitors also sue them.

It's pretty dang high on the list in actual real world tested range.

I had a friend buy a Model Y Long Range (EPA 326mi) over a Mach E AWD Extended Range (EPA 270mi) mainly because the Y supposedly had better advertised range (they were similarly priced at the time). 56mi of range along with the big mental idea of a bit over 300 or under 300.

In Edmonds testing the difference was really only 13mi. Really not that significant in the end.

The cars are just very different. MachE is a car with batteries. Model Y is an iPhone with wheels. Trying to buy for a single spec is a bit of crapshoot anyway.

I also suspect the range gap is more than 13 in winter, as the model Y has more advanced heat pumps.

This suit isn't about the advertised range -- everybody advertises the EPA's rated range. The way the range is calculated does favour Teslas, but if you want that changed, you'd have to sue the EPA, not Tesla.

Tesla is the only one using that "EPA advertised range" as a way of calculating your remaining range. Everyone else uses the normal, ICE car way of monitoring current driving behavior to get instantaneous efficiency, and rolling average over time multiplied by remaining "fuel" in the tank.

Tesla is the only odd one out. Surely Tesla employees have driven cars before right? Surely they should understand that.
