Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, US lawsuit claims (Reuters) - Tesla faces a proposed class action claiming it speeds up odometers on its electric vehicles so they fall out of warranty faster, saving Elon Musk's company from having to pay for repairs. The plaintiff Nyree Hinton alleged that Tesla odometer readings reflect energy consumption, driver behavior and "predictive algorithms" rather than actual mileage driven. He said the odometer on the 2020 Model Y he bought in December 2022 with 36,772 miles on the clock ran at least 15% fast, based on his other vehicles and driving history, and for a while said he drove 72 miles a day when at most he drove 20. Hinton, a Los Angeles resident, said this caused his 50,000-mile basic warranty to expire well ahead of schedule, leaving him with a $10,000 suspension repair bill that he thought Tesla should cover. "By tying warranty limits and lease mileage caps to inflated 'odometer' readings, Tesla increases repair revenue, reduces warranty obligations, and compels consumers to purchase extended warranties prematurely," the complaint said. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-speeds-odometers-avoid-warranty-213536596.html
Hopefully these fraud charges, the insider trader charges (Tariff stock drama), the domestic terrorism charges (dumping California's summer water), the contempt of court charges (deporting people without due process), etc etc are all postponed until 2028 then fucking bitch slap them all.
I was thinking that.. but can't Trump pardon them in advance to head that off? Doesn't seem like he should be able to. but it seems like it has happened...
Even worse, after they claim Elon did nothing wrong, they'll go after all the people who use Teslas for Uber and Lyft and believed their ODO for the mileage deduction for tax fraud.
