There are MANY other rural locations in this Country that are JUST as remote, and some even MORE so, but I am familiar with the distances from Hudspeth County, Texas, as I live here

They aren't being targeted at you. They're being targeted at people who live in towns and cities, where a fifty two mile trip will take you to all of those places in one journey, twice over.

And personally, I think it's more accurate to call this "dodgy advertising." It's still an electric car - just one slightly less powerful than was being advertised.
