I like the show the math and assumptions approach, but there's zero chance a Tahoe is getting a 4.1 mile per kWh EPA rating. That's what the Model 3 gets.

The Tahoe gets similar fuel economy to half-ton sized trucks, so I would expect them to have similar EV efficiencies.

Considering the very efficient Model 3 gets ~4 miles per kWh, I expect a truck to get about half that, or 2 miles per kWh.
