If you know the true answer, but you give your customer a false answer to make your product look better than it is, there's a word for that. It's "fraud".
Counterpoint: Ive taken numerous road trips in both of our family's Tesla (Tesli?) as well as a couple loaners, and the built in navigation is always spot on with the estimates. Like it's eerie how it can predict within a percentage point on a 2 hour or more drive within the first 10 minutes of a trip.
Range anxiety really is only experienced by those that it doesn't affect (i.e. potential buyers)
Yes, if the projected range is more optimistic than reality, it’s always because I drive faster than 120-130 kph. Otherwise it’s absolutely spot on or even better than projected, for example if I drive 100-110 kph for a while.
