In the past, Tesla lawyers even initiated lawsuits against customers who dared to criticize the quality of their cars or services. Such cases are documented and therefore not fake news. Last week, moreover, DOGE dismantled the department responsible for safety control and approval of new cars entering the market. Tesla experienced too many problems with this department in the past and now, through DOGE, took the opportunity to simply dismantle it. Moral of the story... buy a Tesla, a “safe” decision.
Changing your tire sizing only changes the speedo and odo a few percent. You can usually just ignore it unless you're making drastic changes.
Yeah for the odo to do that, you need to put golf cart wheels on a Tesla.

That's 70 miles a day, for anyone who doesn't want to do the math. I don't know where Hinton lives, but that's almost two laps around all of the highways surrounding the city I live in. That's 2 hours of driving on surface roads, not including stop lights and stop signs.
I wonder how much money Tesla has saved by breaking the law this way?

Should be super easy to prove too... Take an assortment of Teslas to a 1 mile stretch of road, drive it up and down 20 times, measure the mileage before and after.
Right, but Tesla has had time to push new code to their cars. So we could get a negative result now and still have past shadiness.
If the courts cared for the rights of people they would subpoena code routinely
We can't be ruled by black boxes that serve people who hate us. It has to end

Add this to the pile of the rest of the illegal things billionaire Musk does simply because he can
Better or worse than rape-via-twitter? Better, I guess.
It is weird that he probably saw Danny DeVito rolling back the odometers in Matilda while in a K hole and misconstrued the whole situation. That scene of Danny with the drill taking thousands of miles off an old beater probably seemed like a jackpot idea in that drug addled mind of his.
Hey man, drugs have nothing to do with his mind. It was that way before drugs were involved
Wow Teslas are even shittier than I ever imagined.
when that dude on reddit bought one for 140k, and complained how it was all cheap plastics inside, and htis was the around the time he heel turned after buying twitter.
Really needs to back this up with some corroborating evidence like Google maps location timeline or something. I don’t trust Tesla, but I also know when I switched to EV I started making excuses to drive everywhere. Practically free miles and great acceleration made driving a joy again. Also my wife and I would often swap vehicles if she had some errand across town to save on gas. Combined that out way more miles in my EV than I had been putting on the previous gas car.
If all this guy did is commute, then he likely has a case, but I really question that.
Yeah I'll be honest, I surprised myself when I bought my EV and my odometer went up a whole lot faster than it used to
My previous car wasn't easy on gas so I instinctively used it sparingly. With my EV I actually do drive a lot more and I'm volunteering to be the driver for group trips and stuff much more often...
Now now. There is a time to present that data, and that time is discovery, which has not yet begun.
I know you want to judge the case now, but the legal system insists that you wait until the proper time, when both sides are gathering evidence and sharing it with each other.
That's sooo many individual felonies.
Yet another reason for Elon to wreck all the agencies investigating him.
he said he was afraid to go to jail if harris won.
The speedometer is also predictive.
it gets stuck at 45 convenently
You know this is fake cause it's not on garbage touchscreen
