Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken - eviltoast
Inundated with complaints, Tesla created "Diversion Team" to cancel appointments.

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to improve the actual distance Tesla cars could drive between charges, according to an investigation by Reuters.

    The EV6 is very similar on paper, both use the 800V E-GMP, but I prefer the interior and driving experience over Ioniq 5.

      I hate the touch bar. But I don’t know if the Ioniq is any better in that regard.

      Also the exterior of the Ioniq 5 looks better. EV6 interior looks better but some of those things would annoy me.

        The screens in those two cars are the same, they also both have touch panels below the touch screens, but they take different approaches to the user experience.

        The Ioniq 5 has a single touch panel, and many of the buttons are pretty much just shortcuts to get to the relevant screen on the touchscreen.

        The Kia EV6 has more or less the same touch panel, but here it can switch between climate mode and media mode. So in one mode the dial and the touch buttons control temperature and fan speeds, on the other mode the same buttons and dial control the volume and switching channels and tracks on the radio.
