What?
> So, Karens want tesla to account for...
Tesla customers. People who paid $50,000+ for the privilege of owning a Tesla. Being dissatisfied with the performance of the car makes them "Karens"? Gee, I hope you guys remembered to formally excommunicate them from the Church of Musk.
Edit: Ah, I think I see the problem. Have you considered that the range is really important for a vehicle that can only be "refueled" either at home or at a handful of proprietary charging stations? Having a bad range estimate could really fuck up a road trip, especially before the charging network was built out to a reasonable density.
Nobody who's paid 50k for a car wants to limp to the next charger at 45 MPH with the windows rolled down (or worse, run out of power) because the manufacturer couldn't (or didn't want to) make a realistic range estimate.
- zpeti 3y agoWhooosh. The point goes completely over your head. As it does for many who want to hate Musk at all costs. EPA range is standardised. Any OTHER car other than tesla also loses range if you use the AC or drive fast. This isn't some grand lie by Musk to sell cars, as you want to believe. The range is measured in a standardised way.
