Tesla accused of messing with odometers to get out of repair bills
Source: Engadget
Tesla is facing a proposed class action suit over allegations that it has been speeding up odometers so its vehicles will fall out of warranty faster, according to a report by Reuters. This would make it easier for the company to get out of paying for repairs.
Nyree Hinton, the plaintiff in the case, alleges that Tesla odometer readers are designed to change with energy consumption, driver behavior and mysterious predictive algorithms, and not actual mileage driven. He said that the odometer on the 2020 Model Y he bought in December 2022 had 36,772 miles on the clock at the time of purchase.
Hinton alleges that the odometer went up by 72 miles each day, when he only drove around 20. He made comparisons to his other vehicles and concluded that the odometer ran, at the minimum, 15 percent fast. This caused his 50,000-mile basic warranty to expire ahead of schedule, which forced him to pay a $10,000 suspension repair bill out of pocket.

Odometers tabulate miles. Voting machines tabulate votes. E-lol-n games systems. He famously games online games.
He’s also got hair plugs and fake chin implants and is artificially testosterone boosted and lives in a dissociative world via ketamine horse tranquilizer. He even has to game his own life to make it bearable.
