Many of your suppositions are incorrect, I am not wasting my time explaining it to you but you can read up on the internet. I am a retired engineer who used to work in internal combustion engine testing and design improvement. Wow how wrong you are. Dark ages wrong.

Oh I forgot the Telas is one of the most inefficient cars on the planet EV wise.
You can say whatever you want about being some retired engineer, but math is math. You're the first engineer that doesn't understand algebra apparently. 85kWH divided by 33.7 kWh/gal gas (per gallon of gasoline - look it up) = 2.52 gallons of gas equivalent energy. Don't know else how to explain it. According to Car & Driver the Tesla 85kWh battery weighs 1323 pounds. 1323 pounds divided by 2.52 gallons = 525 pounds per gallon of gasoline energy equivalent. I was using rough numbers in my previous post.

LOL
