Tesla Faces Huge Class-Action Lawsuit Over Mileage

Tesla is facing a huge legal problem coming from owners of its flagship Model S and Model X electric vehicles. A private owner recently filed a lawsuit in Northern California against the electric carmaker. The plaintiff claims that the driving range of some of Tesla's older models was reduced when the company released a software update which it claims was supposed to fix defective batteries.
