The estimated mileage on some trims has dropped by 37 miles.

Not the Cybertruck story, but perhaps more important.

The Justice Department has been probing Tesla for their exaggerated range claims, and suddenly Tesla has decided to reduce their estimates on these already-released cars.

    You are driving across country based on Tesla saying it has Supercharging stations across the route so you can make a trip. The Tesla navigation says its fine. At each Supercharging stop along the way, it says everything is fine. At a Supercharging stop, the Telsa says you are charged fully and can easily reach the next Supercharging station. But after you start driving to the next station, the charge level drops rapidly until you are stranded.

    He didn’t leave his house with the Tesla saying he had a 5 mile range. He left the Supercharging station during a cross country trip with the Tesla saying it had a 260 mile range when that wasn’t true. He didn’t choose to leave with a low charge. The Telsa lied to him about its actual range.

      To add to this: above 50% charge, it has been proven that Tesla computers lie to you and purposefully overestimate your range.

      The computers adjust to reflect closer to reality by the 50% mark. But above 50% Tesla computers are there to sell cars, not there to tell the truth or serve as a real estimate.
