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.

First, are “comfort and functionality improvements” made by Tesla that require more energy, and second is the implementation of revised EPA testing requirements that result in a “higher consumption and a slight decrease in overall range.”

Here is the real answer. They don't give a shit about the complaints, the EPA revised the way they calculate estimates, and this impacted Tesla.
