I found some images of a Tesla's display, and it has a percentage and a bar graph just like a phone. The problem isn't that people can't see roughly how much charge is left, it's that the distance-remaining display is misleading to such a degree that it seems malicious, and it's demonstrably possible to give a much more accurate estimate. They are at the very least guilty of including a defective feature in their cars.
