Does CA have a different webpage? Just checked and the 70D is still not there. And 85D comes up at 295 with 65 mph with AC off. And if you do the math on the 60 (ie 70/60*range), you would get 250. I know it isn't fair to do that since there is increased weight but also different "gearing".
So brucet - are you sure? I notice that the "Your questions answered" is under "my.teslamotors" and so perhaps we see different things.
Since Tesla is voluntarily using lower EPA numbers, I might not really believe the fuzzy numbers on their website - even more than usual. They are purposely downgrading the advertised range. Sure 240 is a round number but they let the P85D be 253.
Everyone lives in a different roadtrip environment and if I lived in different areas, I'd pay for those extra 30 or 40 highway miles. Minnesota range has zero relevance to NC range since 0 degrees never happens except perhaps in the mountains but even then you would have to be driving at night and would only see that temp for the last few miles. Similarly, if I lived in Texas, those extra miles might really matter. We have 4 superchargers in 4 directions from 60-90 miles away - a bit close but great for the return leg of a trip.
Would be fantastic if we had online access to Tesla roadtrip planner with supercharger times etc with different cars. I'd love to say plug in Wash DC at 288 miles away and be quickly told that it will take 17 minutes more with a 70D vs 85D. And better still to plug in 70mph or 75 mph and give me different trip times. Last time I drove to DC was more than 10 years ago but it is a roadtrip I will take at some point.
