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

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

    No, phev is literally the worst. You have to charge it and fill it with gasoline, as well. As a result, it’s heavier and more complex.

    Hybrids are fine, though I still prefer regular gasoline.

      I’d be much more likely to buy a hybrid or phev than pure electric. My ideal thing would be something like the Edison Truck (though just a regular pickup, not a semi) where it’s diesel electric.

      A full size pickup truck with like a 40-60hp diesel generator/range extender on board would be awesome. Or a midsize with like a 30hp.
