Well, that's a straw-man argument though.
The modern/new EPA testing is more real-world and most people can best it if trying. New standards are something like 75mph cruise, taking into account more real-world variables that are indicative of how most people drive. If you want to hypermile, you can often do better than the ratings. This applies to Tesla, my 2SS 1LE V8 and I'm sure the Porsche. It's not going to inherently make it better than another car in this regard though.
All sorts of factors can affect your trip mileage, tailwind, air density, slight overall downhill, maintaining speed, etc. People post better results all the time...but that's across the board.
