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.
It’s not a fine but a lawsuit, at least in the U.S. So, someone (the FTC for instance or individual buyers) would need to file a civil suit. Max the FTC can collect on false advertising is $40k. Unless it’s found to be fraud, which is criminal.
So basically, nothing to Musk without a massive class action or a criminal indictment.
