Tesla created secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters.

Well yeah. That was made pretty abundantly clear when they had a public meltdown over Top Gear thrashing the shitty range.

The days in which businesses competed by trying to make the best possible product for the best possible price are dead and gone - sacrificed on the altar of shortsighted greed.
The current strategy is to make the shittiest possible product for the highest possible price, then try to manipulate things so that it sells anyway.
And that's been Tesla's strategy since day one.
This has always been an underlying scam of capitalism. It’s usually much more profitable to lie and make money than it is to provide a truly good product and/or service.
The automaker also recently updated its vehicle software to provide a breakdown of battery consumption during recent trips with suggestions on how range might have been improved.
