I never owned a Tesla but always respected the company for its audacious pioneering role in bringing EVs into the mainstream, even though some of its hyperbolic language is silly or sometimes even dangerous (think Autopilot or Full Self-Driving). However, I was disappointed to read the article below which refers to Tesla's fudging the normally straightforward 0-60 mph acceleration spec by sneaking in "rollout" for its higher-performance models. Am I too harsh in my judgment? One would think that Tesla's superior software and user interface, as well as its unparalleled charging network should be sufficient to compete in an honest way.
