klanten die problemen hadden met de range afgepoeierd te hebben
Ah oké
Quote, het enige geval aangehaald:
“He soon realized he was sometimes getting less than half that much range, particularly in cold weather – such severe underperformance that he was convinced the car had a serious defect.
“We’re looking at the range, and you literally see the number decrease in front of your eyes,” he said of his dashboard range meter.
Ponsin contacted Tesla and booked a service appointment in California. He later received two text messages, telling him that “remote diagnostics” had determined his battery was fine, and then: “We would like to cancel your visit.” “.
Jeetje, minder range in de winter. En dan vindt Tesla het overbodig om de auto na te kijken. Schandalig zeg.
Ik skip naar het commentaar van de EPA want alles ertussen in is het gebruikelijke ‘People familiar with the matter’ blabla waar Reutels zo bedreven in is:
“Whatever an automaker decides, the EPA must approve the window-sticker numbers. The agency told Reuters it conducts its own tests on 15% to 20% of new electric vehicles each year as part of an audit program and has tested six Tesla models since the 2020 model year.
EPA data obtained by Reuters through the Freedom of Information Act showed that the audits resulted in Tesla being required to lower all the cars’ estimated ranges by an average of 3%. The projected range for one vehicle, the 2021 Model Y Long Range AWD (all-wheel drive), dropped by 5.15%. The EPA said all the changes to Tesla’s range estimates were made before the company used the figures on window stickers.”
En:
“Pannone called Tesla “the most aggressive” electric-vehicle manufacturer when it comes to range calculations.
“I’m not suggesting they’re cheating,” Pannone said of Tesla. “What they’re doing, at least minimally, is leveraging the current procedures more than the other manufacturers.””.
Conclusie: niks nieuws, Tesla opereert binnen de regelgeving, het enige waar je bezwaar tegen zou kunnen maken is dat ze de regels op een zo gunstig mogelijke manier toepassen.
