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.

    Man, you’ve got no idea what it takes to make the world go 'round. There’s a whole group of people out there doing the hard work that you’d never do that have to work long hours, and have to drive long hours to maximize time with their family. It’s not that I -have- to drive 7 hours without a 15 minute break, but it’s that I’m going to regardless of what anybody says because I am living my life right up against the edge of maximum productivity. I don’t need the same amount of rest as the 58 year old trucker that’s on his second stroke, so I’m not going to follow these generalized “guidelines”.

    We’re the ones that paid the taxes to get the road built, so why don’t you merge back into the slow lane and let us live our lives? Lol.

      Then why don’t you stop wasting your precious time here and spend it demanding those taxes go towards paying for changes that allow you to earn a living, and spend time with your family without having to make dangerously long drives on a regular basis?

        I do plenty of that too. Hopefully you are too!

        People can be perfectly capable of operating in a system while demanding change in that very same system.

        Also, “danger” is relative. Water can kill you if you use it incorrectly. Just another example of someone else applying their situation to my own–lmao
