Something you left out here is that the full capacity of the battery can’t be used. Tesla uses more of the battery than other manufacturers, which gives them a higher range per rated watt hour.
On top of that, they have more efficient components. When you compare a model S to a lightweight Carbon Fiber BMW i3, with a much smaller pack, you’ll see that the modelS still squeezes out a higher mpgE rating.
