It would be like comparing a 3000w electric fire to a mobile phone charger, or comparing Usain Bolt to a little old granny with her Zimmer frame.

Here's the answer from the Tesla users. As expected, insignificant loss. What uses power is accelerating a two tonne vehicle to 60 mph and driving it a hundred miles, not sitting in traffic.

Model S Owners - Range loss while sitting still? | Tesla
Yes, owners report that the drop in range when sitting in traffic is either none or up to '2-3' miles for a 30 minutes wait. So no significant range loss, it seems.
What? It didn't even have Snakes???That's cause of all the totally unnecessary mod cons. When I were a lad helping out on a milk round the milk float used nothing when the driver hopped out.
Mind you the batteries were the size of 2 suitcases.

Nokia Snakes.... what you would expect to find on a primitive device...Ok you lost me, Snakes? Are you showing your age Mr MJ?

When I was in Hong Kong just before Christmas Teslas were a popular form of Uber transport. HK traffic being what it was, my journeys included quite a number of long waits, where I watched the Tesla range with interest. Not once did I spot it dropping.Well if it was night time you'll need to have the headlamps on;
If it was summer you'd want the aircon on;
If it was winter you'd want the heater fan and the heated seats on;
Your phone might be in the charger;
And the massive LCD display won't be switch-off off either;
So yes I can see the range dropping if you are stuck in a traffic jam.
Perhpas a Tesla owner could comment on the range display when stuck in stationary traffic?
But is that correct. As usual with these matters, the opposing argument is also offered: https://inews.co.uk/news/environment/wood-burners-really-blame-londons-air-pollution/There's a lot of dodgy Eco point scoring and tax-raising manipulation going on.
Most of London's pollution problem doesn't come from the bog standard Golf Diesel driving private citizen.
The true cause of the central London pollution is: Wood burning stoves, which produce 25-33% of the pollutants (sic), heavy commercials, including buses, and traffic flows in areas like Euston Road, Putney High Street etc. Rather than doing anything proactive, Government are just playing for time by debating whether to increase the 200% tax on fuel.
Pizza stoves more important than cars in causing pollution? Here's the background:
Blame Wood-Burning Stoves for London's Terrible Air
Really?
The growing evidence for particle and carcinogen generation [benzopyrene is only one example] in gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles continues to mount. It would appear the more engineers make a petrol engine behave like a diesel in the name of economy the more it suffers similar emission problems to compression ignition engines. Particulate Emissions can however easily be reduced with PPFs I find it hard to believe vehicle manufacturers are unaware of this phenomenon but once more are prepared to sit on their hands till legislation forces their hand.

“Mercedes-Benz reduces nitrogen oxide emissions [from its 350CGI engines] in two ways: with an electrically controlled, cooled, twin-pipe exhaust gas recirculation system, which returns up to 40 percent of the exhaust gases to the cylinders depending on the engine’s operating point, and by two underbody Nox storage-type catalytic converters. During lean-burn operation these converters absorb the nitrogen oxides and release them during brief regeneration phases, so that these pollutants react with the other exhaust gas constituents to produce harmless nitrogen. Sensors located upstream and downstream of the catalytic converters monitor their operation.”

We blame Brexit for the cold weather we’re having at the moment bI do find it funny how pretty much every single negative news item gets Brexit shoehorned into it!
