Is this any different than EPA rated MPG listed on vehicles? Obviously their quoted range is an absolute best case scenario. Still fun to meme on the cyber truck though.

I've found EPA MPG estimates to be fairly accurate. Unless I'm driving aggressively or there's a lot of elevation change the highway average has been spot on the EPA number in every car I've driven enough to pay attention to the MPG.
Because a lot of other EVs that he's run on the same test exceed the EPA numbers, some by a quite considerable margin. The Taycan for example is well-known for exceeding the EPA estimates by as much as 50%. He recently tested the EV9 (a brick) on the same test in similar temperatures, and it also exceeded the EPA numbers.
