      He’s literally that guy. You know the kid that has to find any irritating angle to just abuse the system?

      Everyone who cleans up their desk gets a cookie and this kid is trading other kids half his cookie to clean their desk so he gets 20 cookies and gives 10 back kinda dude. And then argues with the teacher she said “desk” not their own desk.

      The only way to deal with people like that is to give them a pink belly and send them home crying.

    I’d be willing to bet Tesla odos go off GPS readings instead of any sort of physical sensor or mechanism. All kinds of opportunity to screw the reading up that way, intentionally or otherwise.

      i feel like saying “mark my words”, but i think tesla would probably end up on the top of the list of “most scammy products, given it’s price”.

      He passed DeLorean quicker than John could look up from his line.

        Elmo is a scammer, he has been for at least a decade. Most of the words coming out of his mouth are lies, nothing not this is new or news

    Tesla is a shitty company, and everyone who works there is shitty. Same for SpaceX. They don’t have any excuses left.

    Anyone who buys a Tesla from this point forward is also shitty.

    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.

      It might only overcount from 40k to 50k, that hump to get the warranty over. Then undercount to get back on track.

        They are the most data harvested car by far. Knowing these criminals they likely run statistical models trained on all prior Teslas, approaching it like an actuary/data scientist.

        The overcounting may only be performed on Individual units that display certain patterns which indicate premature failure. Maybe it only occurs based on the profitability vs likelihood of warranty claim for that individual unit, mitigating losses for manufacturing defaults (or cost cutting by a narcissistic megalomaniac).

        You may not notice, but there are devices that can measure the distance that a car travels, even for a long distance, and with a super high precision.

        Car manufacturers have such devices. I have seen a few.

          I think they were saying the car software wouldn’t add artificial distances to short trips, where it’s more obvious. Not that the real world measurement is difficult or anything like that.

    The most likely explanation here is someone recorded the wrong odometer reading.
