This is biased the other way, but contains much more useful data than the NYT article.


This article is not helping really. The first data plot is misleading (shocked!) because the green parts of the plots are added to take the readers eyes away from how expensive it is to get into the Tesla base range system. The base range of the Tesla’s don’t support the article that the Bolt is outdated. In fact just looking at the blue part of the bar graphs it actually makes the author’s point less credible (a Doctor yes, a scientist no).

The rest of the “data” don’t show a huge time savings either using a “superior” planning algorithm.

What it boils down to is V3 is one answer that basically refuted the NYTimes article and it’s likely coming soon in a broad way. That doesn’t answer the base case that for most EV users that it leaves a lot to be desired right now.
