    Yes, I read the article. They crowned a “surprising champion”. But since they don’t bother testing last year’s champion, it’s quite possible the real champion hasn’t changed. Of course, reporting “same champion as last year” is not a surprise and doesn’t get as many readers.

    For someone who actually wants the EV with the best winter range this article is useless at best, clickbait at worst.

      It’s almost like it would be hard to test every single product on the market every year, so since they tested one sample of the market last year maybe this year they should test a different sample?

      It’s not like the Model S has changed much since last year. If you are actually shopping for a car, then you have all of the information you need.

        I don’t want them to test every single car every year. But if they are going to test some cars twice in a row - and they did - then one of those cars should be the best one from last year. Especially since they explicitly pointed out that results from last year cannot be compared to those from this year.

        If they fail to test the previous champion, then their claim of a “new champion” is meaningless.

      Yeah, would have liked to see at least last years champ as well in the comparison, with a newly done test
