Happy to answer all of your questions Art just as soon as Tesla ships me my car! (been stuck "In Production" for two weeks now)

Really? I could've sworn I didn't see it yesterday. Oh well. The rest still applies.That's not new today, it's been there for several weeks if not almost a month. I don't recall the exact date but it was after Telsa dropped the 60D/colors/black roof. The range at 65mph has bounced around on the P85D as well.

Does Insane Mode really change the efficiency if driven in a normal fashion? I assume EPA testing does not require the driver to floor the pedal from each stop, etcThe other possibility is that the insane mode gets much worse mileage and that Tesla is having to report the range as the average between the best and worst modes.

I'm inclined to believe the P85D has worse mileage than other vehicles, that is what Jerome said in his email to expect.
Or at least for the range calculator on the Tesla web site to go beyond 70 mph!Just throwing this in, not responding to any particular post, but it looks like there is more and more reason for the EPA to test at 80mph -

The fine print on these EPA stickers says "when fully charged vehicle can travel about..." So I it's even more confusing than I thought, because the new EPA rules calculates range as the average of 100% charge and 80% charge. Did they change the methodology without changing the wording on the sticker?
Can someone help me with the math?
38 kWh for 100 mi
242 mi range
Battery needs 2.42*38 = 91,96 kWh capacity
We all know it is 85 kWh of which not all are accessible.
Much worse here:
265 mi * 38 kWh/100 mi = 100.7
