[QUOTE="Weather Man, post: 16940024, member: 137766"] Tesla’s vehicles might not be as efficient as the automaker says they are. The EV giant has allegedly been exaggerating the driving range of its vehicles for years, [URL='https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/']according to a new report from Reuters[/URL]. The Austin-based company is said to have even gone as far as to set up a team to suppress complaints about the issue. The article claims that Tesla has been intentionally inflating the in-dash range-meter projection on its EVs for about a decade at the behest of its CEO, Elon Musk. A source familiar with the matter told the news agency that the executive reportedly gave the directive to rig its range estimating software. The resulting algorithm provided a “rosy” range projection, as opposed to an accurate estimate of how far the EV could travel before it needed to be recharged.
