The only way elon has to respond to ANY problem… Is to cheat
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.
That can’t be legal, there is surely a requirement for having odometers that are hard to manipulate to avoid fraud
Laws? For corporations?
I hope so, but if their intent is to commit fraud what is and isn’t legal might not prevent them from ending up with manipulated results
Everything’s computer
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.
you made me picture a Back to the Future remake with a Tesla Truck as the time machine…
No and fuck you for saying it.
Even when back to the future enters public domain, if someone ever makes a version with the cybertruck, I’m going to be pissed at you first. The only exception is if the cybertruck can’t make it to 88mph and breaks down and the Libyans kill Marty so we don’t have to suffer any longer.
Honestly that just sounds like a college humor skit.
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.
Are the drivers Tokyo drifters? Cause that could explain it
Not an enthusiast or an export but I have played a lot of Mario Kart.
Doesn’t drifting lower the odometer compared to distance since you have to cover distance while your wheels stopped turning?
I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.
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).
Yeah, I don’t understand why this guy is basing this on some monthly counts. Start google maps, see how long the route is, see what odometer is showing, check it again after arriving at the destination.
Easier: put it on a test bench, let it run (spin wheels on rolls, car stays in place) and see what the odometer says.
Nah, way too easy! Like the VW scandals 10ish years ago, cars that can sense when they are being tested will likely deliver expected results… Test them on the bench anyway and then compare that with real world testing results.
The most likely explanation here is someone recorded the wrong odometer reading.
