Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly there should be a law which makes car companies (tesla especially) publish ranges based on real world conditions
That will never happen. They will either just make numbers up, use cars without interior and always "test" in california where it's warm and straight.
Maybe this will inspire the law. We can call it the "stop Tesla lying act"
Although to be fair, my 2012 Kia Hybrid also grossly over estimates it's MPG. So much so that I also thought something was wrong with it when I first bought it, so it's not just Tesla. MPG and range absolutely need some strict regulation on it with some real teeth if companies get caught gaming the system.
