Not a Tesla fanboy but just noting EV range in general can be quite hard to predict - there’s a huge drop off in efficiency at higher speeds, so driving through town I may get 350 mi range on my 300 mi rated EV6, but on the freeway at 75+ mph, I probably get less than 250.
Not surprised Tesla exaggerates their range though. YMMV.

I’ve never seen a more appropriate use of ymmv
Psst what’s ymmv?
Your Mileage May Vary
Ooooooooh. Thanks!
Hard to predict means that half of the time you would under estimate the mileage, if done correctly. This is not what is going on here.
Some people would probably complain if they had a 100mile trip up a mountain pass and it took more than 100 miles of energy.
At least when you plan a route the % indicator takes that into account vs a plain estimation.
My best trip once going up a pass was around 70km of the reading staying within 1 or 2km the entire time when going down it.
But ya there’s so many variables. But if they were fudging calculations that’d be bad.
