The newest Polestar 3 has a 111kWh battery vs the Tesla model 3 which has a 78.1 kWh battery, but the Polestar apparently only achieves 2 more miles in range than the Tesla. The battery difference is huge. Is the Polestar really so much less efficient than the Tesla? It does not seem right that Tesla get almost the same mileage out of a 78.kWh battery as Polestar does out of a 111kWh battery. I really did not think the efficiency of the Polestar was that bad compared to the Tesla.
