Tesla is notorious for lying about their range.
Comment on Some Tesla engineers secretly started designing a Cybertruck alternative because they 'hated' it
nxdefiant@startrek.website 1 year agoI’ll get one if it has 500 miles of range. I have a reservation but might wait to see how close Chevy gets before making a choice.
It could look like a potato for all I care as long as it can haul a bed full of stuff for 500mi.

I have a model Y LR w/ 330 mi of range, and I have actually gotten that range before in ideal conditions, but yeah, it’s unlikely at best.
I’m in no rush, I can wait to see what Chevy and Tesla do before deciding. Maybe Rivian comes out with a 500mi R1S and I’ll just deal with a trailer.

It’s not just an ideal conditions thing, Tesla is further away from their EPA estimates than every competitor. It’s borderline fraudulent and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it at least land in court.
I would buy any number of things from anyone else because of how big a liar Elon is, and how much he seems to get involved in fucking things up.

I mean, ok, I get that, but it’s never been an issue for me personally. I’ve never had a vehicle that hit it’s EPA estimate when I drive 85+ with the AC at full blast when it’s 105+

Rivian is offering a 400 mile range, with 600 bHP!
