Comparing a Tesla to a Veyron? ...are you freaking kidding!!??
So, I had to look... a Veyron is capable of
250-something mph,
at 3 mpg on a 25+gal tank. That gives you 75miles covered, and a coast-down from 250mph. ...maybe another 5 miles. That is half the best range of a Tesla at what... 40_mph?
I expect that the Veyron's range at 130mph (Tesla's top speed) is better than the Tesla's at 45mph . . and you will get to a gas station, fill up and go long before the Tesla finds a plug and an over-night charge.
The EPA hwy for the Veyron is 13mpg -> a 325_mile range.
IOW, the comparison is just silly.
..42 kW·h
battery pack vs 1000+ kW·h
gas. (and that 1000+ kW·h is calc'd on energy to the wheels - losses included.) ...silly
