Notably, 200 wh/mi is at least 20% too optimistic. OTOH, ABRP seems to underestimate the charge KW rate a little bit, but it doesn't seem to be enough.
They should publish the details for public examination. It seems like this comes with some important asterisks.
We’ve driven the west-coast corridor a bunch and contemplated several getting a different brand EV to go with our Tesla. Often seen/watched/checked-on-ABRP the EA sites down to just one or two working CCS chargers e.g. at Woodbury, OR. It put us off this year at least.
>Conner tells us that he had the engineers at both Porsche and Electrify America on speed dial for this run. Despite it being New Year's Eve, he was able to work with the teams to ensure that the car was operating to its potential (despite the bugs) and the chargers he was visiting were both working and reliable.
"I had to move from cord to cord or cabinet to cabinet at some locations, but I was never stranded."
The 5 star Euro NCAP is mostly worthless on rear impact: https://www.businessinsider.com/porsche-taycan-5-star-crash-... " In these seat and head-restraint tests, Euro NCAP propelled a dummy with a realistic spine on a sled at both 10 and 15 mph, mimicking a rear collision. This is the type of crash most likely to inflict a neck sprain or whiplash injury. In general, manufacturers design seats so the headrests are as close to the back of an occupant's head as possible. As you can see by the orange in these diagrams, Euro NCAP assessed only "marginal" protection for the seat and head restraints in both the front and rear seats. "

A Tesla Model S crossed the country in 42 hours and 17 minutes.
