Most, if any, cars don’t get close to their epa fuel economy numbers under “normal” conditions.

I usually hit the EPA numbers on any car I've owned, when I drive the way people are supposed to drive. Although as horsepower and vehicle handling has drastically improved over the past 30 years, "normal" driving seems to have changed a bit.

My Tesla Model 3 Performance is the 4th car I've owned and it's the only car that hasn't achieved EPA estimations.
Hell, my previous car was a 2016 Subaru BRZ manual, EPA estimated at 24 city/30 highway. Despite the occasional launch, I still averaged 32 mpg.
That said, I'm not upset by it, despite only getting 240-270 miles depending on the weather (Out of the 300 mile EPA range). I know the reality of the difference in how an ICE and an EV use their energy.
Tesla is doing nothing wrong. If the range estimations are inaccurate, it's the EPA that needs to change.
