      I’m waiting for the next scandal to be around fudging battery monitoring and performance, just to pump the numbers up on the window sticker at sale.

      I watched this happen with my Nissan once I figured out that the factory driving profile causes range estimates that only a hypermiler could achieve. Once I put a hundred miles of real-world driving data into it, I saw 20 miles vanish from the estimated range on a new battery. So, basically that, but worse.
