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.

    I’m near two lawyers (they live across the street).

    Jokes aside, yes, States that have false advertising laws this would for sure fall under. In States that don’t, it’s still fraud.

    Just took business law last spring.

      Okay. I admit it. I grinned.

      But in all seriousness, it is good to know that even in states with lesser consumer protection laws, purchasers will still be protected.

      I love learning little random tidbits of knowledge like this!
