On orders from Elon Musk, Tesla employees implemented driving range calculations that fakes a longer range in the beginning of your trip and catches up with reality as you approach your destination.

The effect? When potential buyers take a new Tesla on a short test drive, they only see the inflated range numbers, and are fooled into thinking Tesla's perform better.

Dare I say… it is almost as if Elon Musk is not an honest man.

Tesla's lead in the EV industry is being used to discredit the entire transition to EV.

Just as anticipated. By the Saudi oil despots who helped Musk take Tesla private after massive government subsidies.
