Your Model 3 Maximum Range?

Using max range to compare battery capacity is wrong, battery capacity should be used to compare battery capacity.
Agreed, but the car doesn't provide you with capacity, 100% range is all we have easy access to and it's a way to tell which battery you have (e.g. a 75 kWh or a 79 kWh battery in an LR), as well as providing an indication into battery degradation over time.

Tesla has been using a simple kWh per mile constant to calculate the 100% range, so two people with the same model/battery type are effectively comparing battery capacity.

This only works when charged to 100% though.

Even the manual states the "EPA" range is only shown when charged to 100%, that is when the constant most matters. Not when dragging the slider.
