QUOTE(kiasunkiasi @ Jul 28 2023, 02:01 PM) Sensational headlines that doesn't reflects the actual situation. Then some idiots ran with it. QUOTE Reuters said it "could not determine whether Tesla still uses algorithms that boost in-dash range estimates," QUOTE Tesla Model 3 driver Alexandre Ponsin "was sometimes getting less than half" of his 2021 vehicle's advertised range of 353 miles, particularly in cold weather, leading him to believe the car had a serious defect, according to Reuters. Most probably the false range is due to driving and weather conditions. However, to be fair, Tesla's method of handling these complaint should be questioned too. QUOTE He booked a service appointment a few months ago but later "received two text messages, telling him that 'remote diagnostics' had determined his battery was fine, and then: 'We would like to cancel your visit.'" QUOTE Managers allegedly told employees in late 2022 "to stop running remote diagnostic tests on the vehicles of owners who had reported range problems," speeding up the process of canceling cases. "Thousands of customers were told there is nothing wrong with their car" by advisers who had never run diagnostics, Reuters quoted a source as saying. Advisers offered tips to customers on how to increase their mileage by changing driving habits. |
