Inundated with complaints, Tesla created "Diversion Team" to cancel appointments.

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.

      Not sure what your location is, but have not had 1 single time where I had to wait at a charger. 9 out of 10 times we are alone at a charging spot of on average 8 available spots.

      Again, EV in EU is a non-issue. I often had to wait longer at gas stops in the past.

          I’d be much more likely to buy a hybrid or phev than pure electric. My ideal thing would be something like the Edison Truck (though just a regular pickup, not a semi) where it’s diesel electric.

          A full size pickup truck with like a 40-60hp diesel generator/range extender on board would be awesome. Or a midsize with like a 30hp.
