Tesla was so swamped with complaints about driving ranges that it created a secret team to cancel owners' service appointments, source says

Except that is really falsifiable. I pull data with TeslaFi and there's definitely no shenanigans being done.

The simplest explanation is that it's impossible to say (miles left) when you consume significantly more power going faster, going uphill, on a very hot day, etc. So they just go with the epa estimate based on your % state of charge and that's it.

If you want detailed info the car will quickly give it to you and consider all those factors if you put in a destination

I've had many legs of a trip where we get there under 10%

I also pull data from via a third party app and the historical data confirms the numbers aren't just made up

Everyone wants to hate on it but it really is a pleasant experience and the only complaint is it doesn't give you an accurate estimate of miles on the main screen when that is literally impossible without a destination in mind.

Think about it your phone would tell you it had 12 hours of battery left then you played an intense game and it dies in 2 hours... It's a very similar issue

Should I upgrade my Chromecast?

Sure, but it still does cec. Specifically if you cast to it the TV turns on. I've only ever used my Google home to turn off the TV via "hey Google turn off the TV" but the functionality is there, there's just no remote control to make it self sufficient
