"Challenges and Lessons from a Cross-Country Tesla Road Trip"
A Fox Business News segment featuring a Tesla road trip from Chicago to New York has been criticized for being exaggerated and misleading, feeding into EV outrage. The trip, poorly planned and impromptu, resulted in a series of reports that included ignorant talk about battery mining and misleading information about charging stops. The reporter's lack of familiarity with the vehicle and failure to plan the trip properly led to unnecessary stops and confusion about the number of charging stops. The segment has been called out for adding two charging stops that didn't happen, and overall, it has been deemed as a misguided and politically charged portrayal of electric car travel.
