From the article: "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. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments."

The current state of EVs is not useful for all people

Again, nothing is useful to ALL people. The EV is far less polluting than the car, easier to drive, easier and cheaper to live with over time...but it doesn't mean you go back to burning dinosaur juice (and all the pollution you need to create and ship it locally) as a solution for everyone.
