Hey did you hear that 90 years ago they made things for the nazis wtf
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.
