Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken

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

@SamerKadoura @mastodonmigration @arstechnica The problem with naming scandals after Elon Musk us that there's so many - ElonGate could legitimately refer to any number of things (the Tesla fraud, overruling the engineers to save on launchpad design, his dumbass tweets about taking Tesla private that resulted in trouble with the SEC).

We could number them, I suppose - but that still means someone has to go away and make the list.

@mastodonmigration @SamerKadoura @arstechnica Problem with that is you end going “which one are you referring to?”
