The next most efficient EV on the market, the Lucid Air Pure, consumes 28% more energy per mile.</p> <p>Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy confirmed the figure, which represents a certified rating — not a marketing claim or internal target. It’s an impressive achievement, but it comes with a massive asterisk: Tesla accomplished this by building a tiny two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and a sub-50 kWh battery pack.</p> <a class="more-link" href="https://electrek.co/2026/05/22/tesla-cybercab-most-efficient-ev-ever-165-wh-mi/#more-468618">more…</a>
