      You misunderstand why i mentioned that it seems. Allow me to clarify.

      The point is not how ICE and EV differ, it was brought up to support the real world issues that cause a listed range to be untrustworthy because how you operate a thing effects its perfmance.

      I do not drive an EV and did not spend 8 hours a day often 6 days a week driving one around the city i live in so i cant say i have relevent experience to say how much idling effects the EV, but if a device is on, its using energy to stay on, so idling at lights will have some kind of drain on the battery that will give you less range.

      How can it not? It wont be the same i totally agree but I cant imagine it wont make some kind of difference

      Lights will be on, typically you will be listening to something on the entertainment system, passengers will also using whatever features exist but just multiple screens on while the vehicle is “running”

      Again i dont use an EV so i admit i dont know all you might be doing in one that will be used, but i think im more ignorant of what can drain it while on and not overstating anything

      Thank you for the response

        yeah that’s different. I was talking about the engine/motor.

        Lights and sound will barely affect an EV battery. maybe you’ll lose 5 miles (at most) of range.

          Okay but you are picking specifics and arent acknowledging the point im making, so i have to assume you missed my point.

          If you only drive 10k to work and 10k home, and you have to stop at a lot of lights then you are constantly starting and stopping. The need to stop your movement, then get back up to speed aka stop and go traffic is going to absolutely gut your mileage, EV or ICE.

          That same 20k every day that is mostly just staying in motion is going to be drastically different for your overall mileage. If you also drive aggressively and speed a lot you are going kill that mileage even more in stop and go traffic.

          So again the listed mileage is under ideal conditions which is never what you see

          My point is how you drive and what you encounter will determine how close you will get to the listed mileage value no matter what vehicle you drive. Its pretty naive to complain about it just because Elon Shithead is trying to sell a ridiculous vehicle and is a shithead

          Theres much better and more honest arguments/factors to point out if you want to complain about Cybertruck or tesla in general.

          But thank you for letting me know that the internal electical features barely factor in to EV mileage. Its good to know if im ever able to afford an EV
