    Should be super easy to prove too… Take an assortment of Teslas to a 1 mile stretch of road, drive it up and down 20 times, measure the mileage before and after.

      Sure, ideally, unless they’re doing something more sophisticated. VW passed emission tests by detecting they were being tested.

      Some potential easy to implement gotchas: minimum mileage, geo fencing, how much braking is used

        I’d think a test loop would be easier to game though, either through geolocation or other methods.
