A TESLA owner is demanding answers as he claimed something doesn't add up about his \u00a350,000 car.<\/p>\n
The fuming motorist, named Jack, claimed there was a large difference between range that company has claimed his car can cover when fully charged – compared to the estimates on his motor's dash.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In the TikTok clip, Jack showed that his Tesla Model 3 showed an estimated range of 305 miles at full charge.<\/p>\n
He then compared this with a screenshot of the Elon Musk-owned company's website, which stated that the car had a range of 360 miles.<\/p>\n
Jack captioned the video: "What I hate about my Tesla.<\/p>\n
"305 miles at 100%. But the website says 360.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Where are the other 55 miles?"<\/p>\n
Social media commenters were quick to chime in.<\/p>\n
One wrote: "Teslas suck." <\/p>\n
However, others tried to explain why there might be a disparity.<\/p>\n
