Not on everyday use. The demo was carefully crafted. Most EV techs that understand battery depletion will tell you that.

A Chevy Volt could get 100 mile+ range at 65 mph if I wanted to destroy the battery pack! After that 80 mile run I doubt if you could return those batteries to everyday range use.

They do seem to have quite a following. Will give them credit for that.

Ignorance can be fixed with education but stupidity takes great salesmanship!

Hence RADIO!
