But screw that guy. I don't think we'll be buying another one.
It's time for a class action lawsuit and to be rid of him.
> [one customer] ultimately concluded there is nothing wrong with his car. The problem, he said, was that Tesla is overstating its performance
As I read this, either his car was defective or he was lied to to convince him to make a $XX,000 purchase. It seems that Tesla should be facing some form of fraud-based lawsuit over the lies selling the car or treating it under warranty, right?
Is this any different than companies paying public relations departments to salt the media and internet with positive stories, and downplay negative?
I have a model Y. I hate almost everything about it. But most germane, The "Battery meter" at the top of the display is total bunk. That's got to be "rosy" numbers. It'll display a the battery in miles, but it's at least 25% inflated. However if you punch in a destination, you'll get exact numbers, and those are insanely reliable. It claims (and I don't believe any claims coming from tesla) that it'll factor wind, el…
YMMV.
How does the Tesla advertised range compare to the advertised range of other EV makers: less accurate, or similarly inaccurate? edit: "advertised" I mean the range shown on the dash. I.e. the range communicated by the car itself, as relevant to this article.
This is better as it shows the claimed range, and the actual range: https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/

It’s reasonable to ask for a range estimate that’s not naively optimistic.

In a recent review, a Tesla did a slightly better job than most of the cars tested, as far as portion of stated range achieved.
This is what small claims court is for. No lawyers. Cheap. Just a video of real range, the lies, get 20k or what not rebate due to the lies.
Last I checked, small claims court in more than one state tops out at well under $10K. Hence the adjective “small”. IOW, you ain’t getting $20K out of small claims court.
