About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments.

It’s amazing what one person’s actions can do to an entire brand. For the first several years after the Model S release I was sure that my next car is going to be a Tesla. Now, I’m 100% sure that I’ll never buy one.

And for those of us that did buy a Tesla that chump has made it harder to get rid of it.

Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
The phrasing of the title had me thrown for a second as I wondered if the complaints were about the quality of the golf balls at Tesla’s practice facility(s) and how I missed knowing that Tesla had a golf division.

Curious how/if this will influence the recently released report saying EV batteries are performing better than expected when it comes to longevity.
