> The Korea Fair Trade Commission also found that Tesla failed to inform owners that cold weather can reduce its cars’ range. The commission cited tests showing Tesla cars lost up to 50.5% of the company’s claimed ranges in cold weather. Ouch. I've had trouble with cameras not working for long in the bitter Korean cold. I don't understand how this became a problem, much less one that was discoverable. If they're still selling extended-range batteries as DLC, just give the customer the extra capacity for free but spread it out over the service life of the battery (doesn't Apple do this to keep battery capacity constant?). They won't be buying the upgrade for a 10 year old battery anyway, so might as well use the extra material for something and avoid this sort of PR. Or dynamically give/take away exactly enough of the unpaid-for reserve capacity to be able to consistently deliver whatever the promised range was. Unlock the remaining extra capacity as the upgrade. By the time people start noticing the extra range isn't working as advertised, you can gaslight everyone over inconsistent usage patterns across aging cars.
