Interesting little piece over at Green Autoblog

Telsa 10-Q filing reveals that Roadster/Model S range could drop 30% under new EPA methods

Ever since the debut of the Roadster in 2006, much has been made of its 220+ mile per-charge driving range. Of course, that range was based on fairly gentle driving on the EPA test cycles which don't really exercise the Roadster's capabilities. In its latest filing Tesla acknowledges that the new testing procedures being developed by the EPA are likely to cut the advertised range of the Roadster and Model S by 30 percent.

Anyone heard what these "new testing procedures" are or how the advertised range of the Leaf will hold up to them?
