tesla is still way ahead of everybody like their cars get such longer range than almost everyone except lucid they claim they claim longer range but they're they're also one of the most distant from their claims so i wouldn't if you're just looking at this this thing but i had teslas yeah they're they're a little bs i know but they're they're they're cars out there now that are claiming less than tesla they just get the same range right so you can't go by the numbers that are on the package
