Thanks for watching. Interesting fact from an ownership perspective. It’s a good sign for audience here to know that you can actually get more range than claimed!
It’s a North American Thing.. Pls see explanation below. Blame Franklin D. Roosevelt. Originally, automobile model years tracked calendar years. However, that practice changed in the mid-1930s, after FDR signed an executive order that dictated automakers release their new vehicles in the fall of the preceding calendar year "as a means of facilitating regularization of employment in the [automotive] industry." Auto assembly-line workers are typically idled during a new-model changeover, and the president reasoned that if their idle period were to happen earlier in the fall, autoworkers would be able to maintain employment through the holiday season and would thus be able to spend more money. for example, a 2024-model-year vehicle can be sold starting on January 2, 2023. Conversely, manufacturers can introduce and release a new vehicle for sale as late as December 31 of the corresponding calendar year, so a 2024-model-year vehicle can be introduced up to and including December 31, 2024. Due to this wide latitude, manufacturers often bring out vehicles well before-and after-the traditional pre-holiday period.
amazing 😍
Thank you! 😊
Not sure why the say range is 415km. I bought the 2022 model and summer range in 475km.
