It was later shown that the whole part were the Tesla goes out of power was staged.
The car did inform them it would run out of battery on the way. They made a segment about it and failed to inform the viewer that they had ignored several warnings given by the car before reaching the « oh no we are out of battery in the middle of nowhere » point.
This is not what I would qualify as a « fair review ». There are no « false claims » (they did run out of battery, after all !) but the information are given and presented in a way that paints the reviewed product in a specific light.

Tesla's argument in the lawsuit was that based on their telemetry they hadn't actually had zero battery when filming this, which seems beside the point when they quoted the mileage number from Tesla's own materials.
