All Tesla vehicles have logging and telemetry capabilities (unless rooted by an owner). When a New York Times reporter (John Broder) fabricated a story about a Model S running out of power prematurely on a test drive [1], Tesla provided the logs publicly. I assume Tesla has the logs for the VIN provided to the EPA for an emissions test cycle, and hope they’re representing the situation appropriately based on their logging data.<p>Someone is lying! We’ll discover who it is shortly.<p>Disclaimer: Tesla owner, investor, etc<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tesla.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;most-peculiar-test-drive" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tesla.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;most-peculiar-test-drive</a>
