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.

    Holy shit I didn’t think they lasted even close to that long. I was thinking a month or maybe 2.

    I’ve never owned one myself. My next one will probably be wireless though, but it will be rechargeable anyway so this is a moot point. But still.

        I haven’t been avoiding them per se. I did for a while because they weren’t as reliable but that time is well past. Since then I haven’t really need replacements, and it seemed a waste to upgrade “just because” while my current one was fine.

        But the amount of times I want to leave the pointer in a specific spot and let go of the mouse and then seeing it move from cord tension is starting to drive me nuts. So wireless will fix that problem at least. Haven’t even begun looking out comparing yet as I so don’t need one yet.

        Just waiting on the day it moves one time too many and I snap. 🤣
