Tesla has recently updated their driving-range estimates for their lineup of electric vehicles.

This decision was made in response to a new U.S. government regulation aimed at ensuring that automakers provide accurate real-world performance data, according to a report from Reuters.

Tesla had received complaints in the past regarding their range estimates, with some industry experts alleging that the company had overstated the driving-range capabilities of their cars.

A Reuters investigation from last year revealed that Tesla had manipulated the algorithm controlling in-dash range estimates to provide overly optimistic projections about how far their cars could go before needing to recharge.

The report also uncovered a secret team created by the company in 2022 to suppress thousands of driving-range complaints from owners and cancel related service appointments.

In October, Tesla disclosed in a regulatory filing that federal investigators had subpoenaed the company for information related to their vehicles’ driving range.

Amidst the dominance of cloud technologies in the tech landscape, questions are rising over applicability and its cost implications.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
