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.

    Yupp that resonates with us.

    2 EV’s, one kid and one on the way. It’s really a non-issue.

    Power here is stupud cheap and I charge for free at work.
    We did some quick maths recently and figured we’ve spent less than 100€ on 30.000 km driven charging at home.

    That’s less than two tanks of gas on any ICE vehicle. I’m never ever going back to it, other than on my motorcycle.
