When I said our Model 3 SR+ had a real world variety of 192 miles +/- about 10 miles, y' all lost your minds, however it wasn't a scandal then and it isn't now.

What it's good for and why you ought to ignore that range number if you're not going to look deep enough to know what it is really telling you.
