When you look at web page of Tesla (or any other EV manufacturer), when they describe the range it's always "est. EPA range".

This is 100% truth. It is an estimated EPA range.

What's more it's often actually measured by an EPA. The Reuters article that spurred this lawsuit said that EPA, not Tesla, tested 6 Tesla cars since 2020. That's at least half of them (Tesla has only 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10 different models on sale in U.S. although they have to re-certify if they change the battery).
