Tesla exaggerated the driving range of its EVs for years, an investigation from Reuters has found.
The report, which cited a source familiar with an early design of Tesla software, said the EV maker rigged the range-estimating software on the cars' dashboards.
As a result, the company was inundated with complaints and service appointments from drivers who expected a longer driving range, several sources told Reuters.
