Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken

The directive to present the optimistic range estimates came from Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk, this person said.

"Elon wanted to show good range numbers when fully charged," adding: "When you buy a car off the lot seeing 350-mile, 400-mile range, it makes you feel good."

We still have a lawsuit going throuigh Uk courts against car companies who manipulated emissions results tests to make it look as if emissions were lower.

Can we not trust ANYONE in 2023, as it seems we can't

A good reason to have fully open standards, fully open and free software so that people can examine what have made, and make sure it does exactly what you are claming, of course feel free to hide behind patents, and NDAs it suggests you're hiding something.
