First, the guy measures battery drain in miles, which is not an accurate way to measure because the figure changes based on conditions (they call it the guess o meter).

Then the cost of electricity is given at the Manhattan rate of 36 cents per kWh. Nobody is paying that much, except perhaps Manhattan and Hawaii. That's 4.5x more expensive than electricity at Clark PUC, and 3.5x more expensive than PGE (not PG&E).

People that buy new Tesla's aren't complaining about the cost per mile to drive them, or if they are, they are doing life wrong.
