What is with the British press and the inflated charge times?

The Lightning's 10 minutes looks a lot better without a price nmetioned too.

If you took 240V, 13A and a 53kWh battery and assumed no losses, you would get 16.98 hours. I guess that is what happened here.

But agreed - it's shoddy journalism at best.

It also has plans for a coupé, crossover estate and an SUV using the same platform. All are likely to get carbon-fibre bodies created by ex-Mazda designer Franz von Holzhausen.
Well, lots wrong in that sentence. Are these articles just sourcing the other incorrect articles? Or is Tesla stating something multiple times which can be misinterpreted?
