If I say I want to go to X destination the car says I will arrive with Y battery percent left.

This is accurate to me within about 5% of the battery, even driving at fast highways speeds and in cold weather.

If it was "cheating" I think I'd notice an issue when the car said I had 5% left but the real battery charge was empty.

It would hurt the brand to cheat the sat-nav based range, it would mean the car wouldn’t make it to a charger when it said it would. You’d have a lot of unhappy customers.

Think of the sat-nav range as closed-loop and the other testing based ranges as open-loop.

Claim: "The nav calculated estimations tend to be very accurate"

> Do we know it doesn't cheat?

Then the nav won't be accurate then would it? Also: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-pannone-3a414610/
