Tesla odometer uses "predictive algorithms" to void warranty, lawsuit claims
Briefly

Tesla faces another scandal as a California lawsuit accuses it of falsely exaggerating odometer readings on its vehicles, thus misleading customers. The lead plaintiff, Nyree Hinton, reported that her used Model Y displayed an odometer reading that increased significantly within six months, far exceeding her average mileage. This purported misrepresentation causes the vehicle’s warranty to expire prematurely. Tesla has a history of being scrutinized for its marketing practices, particularly concerning safety and vehicle efficiency, which adds weight to these current allegations.
