This whole discussion is pretty disappointing to run through. While I have absolutely zero confidence the EPA can do anything right, we have to go by what has been posted because Tesla has given us nothing in return. Is 240 miles enough range for most of us? Sure. But that shouldn't be the focus. We all just dropped $120,000 on a 285 mile car, and the week of the first deliveries tesla says whoopsies, we meant 240. Are there any lawyers on this board that can clarify the legality of this?
That said - I'm going to give tesla the benefit of the doubt on these EPA numbers and I'll trust the actual reports from the customers when these get rolled out. If the customer numbers match up with the EPA, you can bet your bottom dollar there will be some legal ramifications if Tesla doesn't provide some discount to those who are getting something different than what we paid for. What a mess.
