Lawsuit Claims Tesla May Be Adding Thousands Of Undriven Miles To Your Odometer

CarBuzz - 18/04
Suspicious mileage spikes reported by Tesla owners are now part of a lawsuit claiming the company uses software to dodge warranty repairs.

Is your Tesla Cybertruck racking up miles faster than you drive? A California lawsuit alleges the electric vehicle manufacturer uses software algorithms, not actual distance, to calculate odometer readings. The plaintiff argues Tesla might be doing this deliberately to sidestep costly warranty repairs and push vehicles past their coverage limits sooner.

Tesla, Inc. is an American electric vehicle manufacturer largely attributed to driving the EV revolution.
