Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken (arstechnica.com)

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

Yeah ok, but now you are moving the goalposts on the fly. As long ad we are not making stuff up on invalid assumptions that’s fine. I’m not saying everybody needs to buy an EV. Just if people are using the argument that it is not user friendly to not get one, that’s false.

I can’t afford a ferrari either, doesn’t mean it’s a bad car.

Ps. As mentioned 6 times or so already, i am talking about the EU (said so from the start)
