…it sounds like the plaintiff will have a hard time proving it in court. It seems that the lawsuit isn’t based on any hard evidence, but just a claim.

Go mark out 1 mile, drive said mile, check odometer.  

Done. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This sounds like some BS to poke Elon Musk. There is NO WAY a car drives 20 miles and registers 72.

and here we have a few filthy maga traitor cunts defending retard musk - so there you have it.  

Depending on the car insurance regs in your state, insurance rates can vary with mileage (higher mileage, higher rates). If your "long distance" car isn't the Tesla and you claim that you will only be driving the Tesla fewer miles, the Tesla would be eligible for a lower rate. If the mileage is falsely inflated, you'll get hit with a higher insurance charge. Add that to the lawsuit.

How often does Tesla update its software? In theory, they can send an update or software patch to fiddle with the odometer algorithm, right? "Fix the odometer for the lawsuit testing on the certified test track. After the test, send another software fix to get back to inflated odometer readings to escape warranty claims." They could even patch in, "If Tesla is sitting idle for 4 hours, add 20 miles to the odometer reading. That will not be detected on the test track."  
.
Is there a way for the Tesla owner to monitor updates? Are they automatic or does the owner have to "accept" or authorize the update (and thus have a record of the time, date, update code number, etc.)?

"California resident Nyree Hinton has been in the news recently for filing a class action lawsuit against Tesla. He claims Tesla’s odometers are over-reporting mileage to accelerate the time it takes for the vehicles to fall out of warranty. When he purchased his 2020 Model Y in December of 2022, it had 36,722 miles on the clock. However, Hinton was recently on the hook for a $10,000 suspension repair bill that would have been covered had his basic warranty (good for 50,000 miles or 4 years) still been intact."

Setting aside the debate over the odometer, what kind of car with 50k miles incurs a $10k suspension repair bill?? I guess "They don't make'm like they used to.".
