A TESLA owner is demanding answers as he claimed something doesn’t add up about his £50,000 car.
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.

In the TikTok clip, Jack showed that his Tesla Model 3 showed an estimated range of 305 miles at full charge.
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.
Jack captioned the video: “What I hate about my Tesla.
“305 miles at 100%. But the website says 360.
“Where are the other 55 miles?”
Social media commenters were quick to chime in.
One wrote: “Teslas suck.”
However, others tried to explain why there might be a disparity.
One user said: “360 miles is the best case.
“Tesla cars calculate your mileage left based on your driving.
“That’s why it only shows 305 miles.”
It comes after a motors expert warned people against buying EVs, saying drivers hate them.
Meanwhile, one couple had to be towed 73 miles after their EV ran out of power and ruined their road trip.
Tesla has been contacted for comment.
