I disagree - I don't think anyone is really that surprised when they buy a laptop marketed as "Up to 12 hours of battery life" and then get 3 hours of battery life while playing a video game. I think people understand this is how electronics work, and I doubt anyone is spending $40k after taxes and fees on a car without, at some point, realizing or being told that the 300 mile depends on a lot of factors. A pretty basic search on the internet will tell you this in under 60 seconds of effort. And I don't think anyone buys this car under the impression they will fill it up in a couple minutes like an ICE.
