Actual road test-derived numbers for the Tesla S will vary as to the specific model of the Model S. They're not all created equal, and performance of one type cannot be attributed to any other variant of the car.
Even the Taycan has two flavors.
And, repeating myself, it's impossible to make an accurate comparison between ICE and BEV cooling drag percentages of any specific vehicle unless you have an ICE and BEV version of the vehicle, along with all pertinent information, like The KONA. There are side-by-side comparisons available for ICE, Hybrid, and BEV versions of that car.
The other elephant in the room is, thermal efficiency variability between ICE and BEV and comparing on a Btu basis.

No, all just red herrings.
It's very easy to state what the percentage cooling drag of a vehicle is - it's done all the time.
The current evidence shows that the cooling drag of a BEV is no where near zero (in contrast to what you have repeatedly stated).
That's a simple fact, based on the published evidence.
Anything else is just smoke and mirrors - in fact, typical Aerohead obfuscation as he scrabbles to hide his previously posted misinformation.
