Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Did you forget the whole diesel emissions scandal? A ridiculous amount of car manufacturers were caught after it turns out they were lying on the tests for years at that point.
It takes time before the government properly audits and finds these issues.
That's different. They were not just lying, they were cheating. If they had given them the wrong emission values in the first place they would not have been allowed to sell their cars in the EU.
Semantic difference, surely? Tesla's advertised range is also rarely the actual range, so there's likely some fuckery going on there too.
