Tesla owners: How does your range track with the car's predictions? -----
>From Reuters: "Tesla employees had been instructed to thwart any customers complaining about poor driving range from bringing their vehicles in for service. Last summer, the company quietly created a "Diversion Team" in Las Vegas to cancel as many range-related appointments as possible ... "Inside the Nevada team´s office, some employees celebrated canceling service appointments by putting their phones on mute and striking a metal xylophone, triggering applause from coworkers who sometimes stood on desks. The team often closed hundreds of cases a week and staffers were tracked on their average number of diverted appointments per day. "Managers told the employees that they were saving Tesla about $1,000 for every canceled appointment, the people said... "The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said. 'Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged,' the person said, adding: 'When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good.'" https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/ David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
