Hard to believe Elon Musk would try to scam his customers like this, or is it, maybe this is the age we live in now. Ugh!

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. There's no evidence Elon tried to scam anyone. CNBC spreads lots of misinformation.

I think it’s the other way around. All CNBC is doing is reporting the story from all the sources involved. I think Musk is the one who cannot be trusted. Do you think that Edmunds is lying about the range results? I very much doubt it. I can’t stand Musk.

No, it sounds like the VW smog scandal.
