Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

    The main reason I haven’t switched to EVs is due to the low range and high charge times. For now I’ll stick with hybrids. Great range and cheaper (10gal tank).

      No idea what your situation is, but mine takes 30 seconds to charge and has enough range to cover my daily commute for a week.

          It’s not literal. But the idea is you plug it in in the evening, and in the morning you unplug it fully charged, which all told takes less than 30s of you having to do anything.
