You can't optimise for the test

Yes you absolutely can.

thats what VW did, they optimised fuel flow, power, etc

Again, they did not "optimize" anything, they cheated by running a completely different fuel map in production than they did in testing.

You're the one who defined these tests as real world

Call them what you want, I'm not engaging in a semantics argument over it.

real owners results

LOL sounds a lot like "real world" results to me.

Also the 2026 year did have some modest boosts to efficency

Tesla does not have model years. They had small increases with the "highland" Model 3. This does not coincide with the changes from EPA.

Honestly this pedantry and lack of any evidence all you have?

Your failure to understand the situation is not pedantry.
