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.

    If you are surprised you’re not paying attention.

      1. They didn’t say they where surprised
      2. Some people will be surprised, why dunk on them?
      3. This is good news, and it spreads the awareness of corporate greed & fraud of a grossly overvalued company to a broader audience

      Comments like your’s aren’t adding anything, they are a quality detractor in threads, why make them?
