Not all electric cars are equal 1 Mar 2021 (Forum)
I know the VW isn't in the same category as the other two, but the test was more about 'early adopters' rather than direct competitors. But I was perplexed as to why the Polestar, which has a slightly bigger battery than the Tesla (78kWh vs 75kWh) has a range some 60 miles shorter. During the article it was mentioned that it was because of Tesla's much more extensive experience with battery management. I'm sure that certainly plays a part, but looking at the specs page, another glaring candidate for the difference became apparent. -

Peugeot 407 diesel 2.0 - Just bought 2H diesel -- thick white smoke 6 May 2014 (Forum)
Today, the same thing happened. I phoned him again. He says again this is common with diesels, and suggests I change the battery! I know nothing about diesels having never owned one. But white smoke has nothing to do with a weak battery, does it? Can someone confirm this before I talk to him (or write to him) again?
