The big thing is the EPA estimate is a blend of city and highway driving. For ice cars the city is generally lower than highway, but it’s the opposite for most electric vehicles. I believe Tesla also uses 60 for highway speed instead of a more realistic 65-70+, the lower speed dramatically increases range.
Tesla vehicles just show the EPA range. Unlike every other EV out there, a Tesla vehicles doesn’t show the range factoring in weather, driving style and other factors in a guess-o-meter. They just show the EPA range times your battery %.
You only get the adjusted range when you plug your destination into the trip planner.
