What a stupid ruling. Puffery is when you say something is “the best” or “it’ll change your life”. It’s not when you use technical terms like “contains bleach” or “self driving”.
Lucky you. Neither of the EVs I’ve owned have worked this way. The guess o meter automatically goes down when the AC is turned on.

“A study by AAA found that a temperature of 95 degrees outside translates to a 17% range loss.”

Twitter is gone. It died the day Elon fired most of its staff.
Got passed by a Toyota xD van today and was thinking about how well these would sell in the US with a decent battery in them. The rectangular design means you could double stack the battery capacity underneath the floorboard space.
As someone who drove an original fiat 500e with a similar range, I can assure you this is not enough battery for anywhere but the market it’s designed for (South Korea). You will eat through that “best estimate” of 120 miles in a day’s worth of driving, especially with additional passengers and the AC running.
That’s fine but people elsewhere shouldn’t get too excited about it. When the price is listed in US dollars as some sort of bargain instead of the currency where it’s sold, it gets misleading.
Nice design, but only goes about 100 miles to the charge. That’s unacceptable in today’s market. It will go even fewer miles with additional passengers and the air conditioning turned on. I’d imagine they put a small battery in it to hit that lower price point.
They will just take them back and then ship them to other countries where they pile up like they do now.
