So what happened next? It “was” dealing with complaints. And now?

Sue the shit out of them. Class-action lawsuit. A few billion dollars from Musk's endless fortune. They're blatantly lying, then shutting down thousands of complaints.

Tesla don’t get to decide how they rate their mileage - they have to follow the EPA testing procedure. If they use any figure other than the EPA figure, they’ll be breaking the law.

The fact that the EPA testing procedure doesn’t match real-world conditions is the problem. And it’s not one Tesla can solve.

Sue the EPA then. I hate deception and honestly everyone should.

How is this not a crappy article about a crappy PR?

Fun fact: if you floor the car 100% of the time your range is less. Also fun fact: if you drive a gas car uphill your mileage is less than the posted.
