... According to the lawsuit, Tesla's odometer system isn't physically linked to the number of miles the vehicle has traveled, instead relying on data like energy consumption, driving behavior and predictive algorithms to estimate distance traveled.

"By tying warranty limits and lease mileage caps to inflated odometer' readings, Tesla increases repair revenue, reduces warranty obligations, and compels consumers to purchase extended warranties prematurely," the suit said. ...

[emphasis mine]

Isn't odometer tampering illegal?

Tesla claimed it sold 8000 units in Toronto in 72 hours.

Car prices will be going up because of the tariffs. The Teslas in Toronto were quickly sold because of a Canadian federal govt EV rebate that was ending. There was no love for Felon Musk in those purchases: mobilesyrup.com

Of course war criminal Vladimir Putin praises economic criminal Felon Musk as a 'visionary': www.independent.co.uk
