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.

But after you start driving to the next station, the charge level drops rapidly until you are stranded

To add to this: above 50% charge, it has been proven that Tesla computers lie to you and purposefully overestimate your range.

The computers adjust to reflect closer to reality by the 50% mark. But above 50% Tesla computers are there to sell cars, not there to tell the truth or serve as a real estimate.
