Tesla Sued for Allegedly Speeding Up Odometer Mileage Accumulation
A California Tesla owner has filed a lawsuit that alleges the automaker sped up his vehicle’s odometer, causing the warranty to expire faster than it would have normally. Plaintiff Nyree Hinton said the automaker’s odometer readings don’t reflect actual mileage, and instead rely on driving behavior, algorithms, and energy consumption to calculate mileage. Hinton bought a used 2020 Model Y in late 2022 with 36,772 miles. He claims the car clocked mileage at least 15 percent fast
