What's with these weird, grandiose generalizations I've been seeing about America on this site, based on single data points?

Do you realize that other brands and models exist in the USA? Do you realize Tesla is and American company? Did you even check look into Chevy Cruze's mileage? Here's a guy getting 70mpg in a Chevy Cruze by driving 55mph on the highway. That's 30km/l.

In my defense - I replied to someone who gave the 31mpg number. I should have verified that information myself first.

Tesla is not an efficiency king either though... My 2016 ioniq does ~12kWh/100km whereas tesla is closer to 22kWh/100km

My 2021 volkswagen e-Up can easily do 10kWh/100km, but then it's pretty small and light.
