Deceit isn't just a routine part of Musk's public statements. It's a core practice in how he does business. But if this Reuters blockbuster about the car-range lies from Tesla, apparently at his direction, doesn't result in severe penalties, then we'll know how thoroughly our "regulators" are in the tank for this guy. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/
Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints

Beyond the con to help sales and brush off the complainers there was this little bit where if you complained Tesla wouldn't tell you if they found other problems with your car.

I wonder what dangers this caused.
