Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
www.reuters.com
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters.

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.

      400-450 would be acceptable. With a range like that, I would also accept the current charge times. The range is the biggest issue though. Long-distance traveling is an issue for me in the US. Having to stop and wait for 30-40 minutes to charge is a lot when you are trying to go 600 miles. That adds up.
