Inundated with complaints, Tesla created “Diversion Team” to cancel appointments.

    Not a Tesla fanboy but just noting EV range in general can be quite hard to predict - there’s a huge drop off in efficiency at higher speeds, so driving through town I may get 350 mi range on my 300 mi rated EV6, but on the freeway at 75+ mph, I probably get less than 250.

    Not surprised Tesla exaggerates their range though. YMMV.

      Some people would probably complain if they had a 100mile trip up a mountain pass and it took more than 100 miles of energy.

      At least when you plan a route the % indicator takes that into account vs a plain estimation.

      My best trip once going up a pass was around 70km of the reading staying within 1 or 2km the entire time when going down it.

      But ya there’s so many variables. But if they were fudging calculations that’d be bad.
