Tesla was so swamped with complaints about driving ranges that it created a secret team to cancel owners’ service appointments, source says::To suppress the volume of complaints the automaker created a secret “Diversion Team” in Las Vegas to cancel appointments, Reuters reported.
Huh, I have a Niro EV and it tries pretty hard to extrapolate the range based on the current conditions, so for example if it’s colder outside than the range is less (because it needs to keep the batteries warm), and if you switch on air conditioning or the heater then it immediately lowers the range to account for the extra drain. Occasionally it gets the range prediction wrong, but it really does seem to try to do its best. I just assumed that all EVs work this way.
Niro is from Nissan though. Most reputable manufacturers do produce pretty solid EVs. Tesla is a scam.
Ah right. Kia is also more reputable though.
Tesla doesn’t really offer anything to the EV market that other more established makers don’t. Except for poor build quality, panel gaps, and a memelord of a CEO.
