Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
reuters.com

From the article: "About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments."

I can't be the only one who read this and wondered what problems Teslas were causing to golf courses.

why? I don't get it.

In golf you start a long way from the hole, so when you first start a hole you're probably not trying to make it exactly, you're just trying to get the ball to go a long way to get near the hole. That's known as a drive. A driving range is a place to practice doing that.

Third Year Letterman was right. These things are just imported golf carts.
