This was the energy use of the new Tesla, driving 62km to Bathurst yesterday. To translate that into a comparision with a petrol or diesel vehicle, the standard dual cab ute (Australia’s favourite cars), if it could use energy as efficiently as this, would have a range of over 8000 km, on one tank of fuel. I overtook several dual cab utes on the way, because their ‘grunt’ is a total fiction. All that expensive fuel, and they’re puny.
