- rootusrootus 4y agoYes, someone may have committed fraud. That has no bearing whatsoever on the basic problem here, however, which is a car manufacturer retroactively changing the configuration profile on a car sold nearly a decade ago.
- JustLurking2022 4y agoExcept that's not what happened... When the car was sold, it had the lower range. If it was resold with that same lower range expectation then, while slightly frustrating, the buyer would not have an expectation of the greater range, so it would be more like when the cable company takes away those extra channels your original technician enabled with a wink and a nod - you knew you weren't really paying for them. The fraud created a false expectation.
