The author makes it sound like getting on the highway and driving 70 mph isn't a valid range test.  I'd argue that it's the only range test that matters to an EV.  The only time range comes into play is when doing long distance driving... Which will probably be between 70 and 80 mph.

Not a Tesla owner, but I’d like to think that a quick call to tech support would have resolved the problem if it were trivial as you say. Considering the time spent with tech support in this case, I suspect your ideas didn’t work.

This is just dumb. First, the government paid nothing to Virgin Galactic. It was all done with private money.

BTW, the new Google Voice app does not have any widgets. Otherwise, I haven’t noticed any missing functionality.
