I’m a Tesla owner but hate it – I spent £50,000 for the electric car but something doesn’t add up… I want answers

A TESLA owner is demanding answers as he has claimed there is something wrong with his £50,000 car.

The angry motorist, Jack, claimed there was a big difference between the range the company says his car could travel on a full charge – compared to the estimates on his engine’s dashboard.

In the tick tock Clip, Jack showed it was his Tesla Model 3 showed an estimated range of 305 miles on a full charge.

He then compared that to a screenshot of Elon Musk’s own company’s website, which said 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 is the other 55 miles?”

social media Commentators were quick to speak up.

One wrote: “Teslas sucks.”

However, others tried to explain why there might be an inequality.

One user said, “360 miles is the best case.”

“Tesla cars calculate your remaining mileage based on how you drive.

“That’s why it only shows 305 miles.”

This comes after a motor expert warned people against buying electric vehicles, saying motorists hate them.

Meanwhile, a couple had to be towed 73 miles after their electric vehicle ran out of power and the road trip was ruined.

Tesla was contacted for comment.

Its engine said it had a range of 305 miles, while Tesla's website said it had a range of 360 miles
