Personally I’d rather wear a pair of wellington’s than a pair of musks.

I would guess he is also the driving force behind it. He may well be odd, but we all would look odd if the press endlessly repeated every stupid thing we ever said. I know there is many a statement I wish i had not come out with and there are many I was not aware I was saying.
A recent test of five EVs, including a Telsa and a BMW to see what the actual range is as against the claimed range by the manufacturers showed that the average difference was that the actual ranges were typically a little less than 75% of the claimed figure.
Hmm.
Hmm.

Hmm.
And that's before the battery gets degraded from recharging...

No different to fuel economy figures. Ideal conditions and all that.
The degradation is around 3-8% after 100k miles. There are now plenty examples of million mile Teslas

Other than the one sent into space, it's the only one on record* that's done a million miles.
*Including Tesla's own records.

Bit of a Tigger's broom that 3 batteries, 4 motors if I read that right??
Not going to keep Volvo awake at night!
As posted earlier in the thread, I know someone with a model 3 who’s done 200k miles in it. And it wasn’t new when he bought it. It’s lost about 10-15 miles of range. Does a lot of driving for work. I’ve had a ride in it, it feels fine, no rattles etc. Trim and interior leather feels fine. Not like new but not feeling like starship miles either.
NO! He’s a deeply unpleasant demagogue and we should absolutely not feel grateful for his ilk.

"His motor" is over 100 years old though.
Interesting to remember that it was an uncle of Donald Trump who claimed the thing was unworkable, and not worth bothering about.
He was working for American intelligence who cleared Nikola Tesla's apartment out after his death.
