Tesla sued for false advertising after allegedly exaggerating EV ranges / The proposed class action accuses Tesla of fraud::A lawsuit accuses Tesla of false advertising for allegedly exaggerating EV ranges…
Tesla is synonymous with false advertesing and hype.
You misspelled Elon Mush
You misspelled “lying asshole”.
It seems like Teslas get way less range when it’s cold, especially the ones without heat pumps. This is no surprise whatsoever but it’s not well covered by EPA range estimates because combustion engines get free heat. So it’s not something people are used to thinking about.
Seems like where Tesla f’d up is by making a team to lie about it instead of just telling people, “yeah that’s what happens.” As usual it’s the cover-up that worse than the crime. Tesla will probably win the case but will look stupid. Should have just been honest about it.
Good. Fuck Elmo.
The latest podcast season of Land of the giants is about Tesla, I‘m finding that quite interesting so far: first episode
Thanks for the rec, this pod looks very interesting!
Trash cars
This seems like it could be a bigger deal than it seems at first. Tesla sold partially on having much better range than competitors . If they used tactics to cover up the real world performance and had a team to specifically deny and deflect customers concerns other auto makers could get in the fray. Even a 10% variance would swing a consumer.
I’m looking for an ev and $ vs range mile is a big factor in my judgement. I’m not the only one.
Oh boy does GM with Chevrolet bolt have a huge lawsuit incoming then.
The only one that was even somewhat realistic was the shitty Nissan leaf with it’s 128 mile range for awhile lol, from experience.
I’m sure Tesla gets decent enough range but I can’t attest to that. I can attest to the bolt and leaf though.
Going to have to go with this one again.
“I sued Tesla, because I bought their car, I drove it and then I got stuck!”

A recall is a tacit admission that there is a problem, there is a fix, and it will be fixed at the manufacturer’s expense.
Tesla has claimed there is no issue, instituted teams designed solely to minimize the number of complaints about this issue, done all they can to deny that there is a problem, and ultimately is being sued for failing to actually do their damn jobs.
If you don’t understand the difference maybe you need to grow up a bit more before having an opinion.

Well that’s fine. The good thing about those lyrics is you can just swap tesla for another company.
Volkswagen fucked with EPA tests and paid almost $15 billion for their efforts.
And yet you think Tesla, a company owned and operated by an absolute sociopath, is being totally honest with their range numbers.
Fucking lawl.
