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.

Not denying that, but I’m also not relying on an estimate so close to zero

At least you have common sense. Seeing other replies is befuddling. Yeah Tesla lies constantly, but literally no EV has bulletproof estimates.. because they can't have that. And trusting an estimate as fact is just so weird to me.

That means Tesla's claim that supercharging stations allow you to make long trips is a lie. When you charge at a Tedla supercharging station, the Tesla tells you where to drive to the next charging station to not run out of charge. If range cannot be estimated such that you can't reach the next station they tell you to drive to, their Supercharging network claims are lies.
