Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters.
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments.
It's amazing what one person's actions can do to an entire brand. For the first several years after the Model S release I was sure that my next car is going to be a Tesla. Now, I'm 100% sure that I'll never buy one.
And for those of us that did buy a Tesla that chump has made it harder to get rid of it.
After working with telsa i can tell you, not buying one is the smartest move you can make.
Tesla doing more shady shit, shocker. I can’t believe 5 or 10 years ago I thought this guy was some kind of Tony stark. I’m thinking that back then he just had a better PR team to manage him, and now that he’s rich enough he just stopped giving a fuck.
What I don't understand is, given his industries he is part of, why he is cozying up to the political right. As far as I know, they've always hated "hippy dippy" electric cars. And rockets are "nerd" shit. So the pivot is very strange. It's like a gay club trying to attract straight people.
CEOs and the rich in general are dictators at heart. They get their way through threats and violence. They and the right-wing are two peas in a pod.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck about the underlying businesses, he only cares about clout chasing (cosplaying as dollar store Tony Stark) and making money, and his choice in industries reflects that: self driving cars and getting off world.
I don't believe for one second that he actually believes in what he does, outside of taking over SpaceX to try to make a new
South African Emerald minecolony on Mars.Because a) he hates unions and the left supports organizing labor, b) he hates reflection and changing his behavior for others, another big thing on the left, c) he’s had a few instances where he’s been hurt and blamed the left, and most importantly d) he’s the same kind of internet troll as gamergaters
Maybe it's a long game to well cybertrucks to people who want to own the libs, but it feels shortsighted. I seriously expected my next car to be a tesla but cant support this shit
He's only doing electric cars to kill public transport, I bet.
There's too much Musk obsession on this site
Alright, I get it when people don't care that Twitter changed its brand name or whatever, but are we going to ignore reports about electric cars that don't work as advertised and the company trying to cover it up, just because we keep hearing a lot about the CEO?
News shouldn't be treated as fads, not even by people who think they are overplayed.

The phrasing of the title had me thrown for a second as I wondered if the complaints were about the quality of the golf balls at Tesla's practice facility(s) and how I missed knowing that Tesla had a golf division.
Curious how/if this will influence the recently released report saying EV batteries are performing better than expected when it comes to longevity.
