The estimated mileage on some trims has dropped by 37 miles.

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.

    Require a class before they can buy an electric car?

    Tesla has temperature sensors. They could give estimated range at the start of a charge based on current conditions. It was only a few hours between supercharging stations. The temperature didn’t change dramatically between 11pm and 2 am.

    But they don’t do that for marketing. People would be returning their new Tesla’s bought in the winter when they started it for the first time and it said 150 mile range instead of 250.
