Tesla is facing a lawsuit from customers over its vehicles' driving range estimates. The lawsuit cites a Reuters investigation which found the carmaker had exaggerated its cars' range. Tesla is facing a lawsuit from some customers over its vehicles' driving range estimates. The lawsuit cites a Reuters investigation which found that the carmaker had exaggerated vehicles' driving range, the distance cars can travel before needing to recharge. The suit claims driving range is "one of the most important features" for consumers purchasing an electric vehicle.

The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, this person said. The lawsuit's three plaintiffs cite occasions when their Teslas didn't achieve close to their advertised ranges and said they had complained to the company without success. The lawsuit states: "Had Tesla honestly advertised its electric vehicle ranges, consumers either would not have purchased Tesla model vehicles, or else would have paid substantially less for them." The complaint seeks class-action status to represent "all persons in California who purchased a new Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model Y, and Model X vehicle." A California Tesla owner also filed a proposed consumer class action in April after Reuters reported that Tesla employees had shared on an internal messaging system sensitive images and videos captured by cars' cameras.
