a Class-Action Lawsuit Claims Tesla Is Speeding Up Odometers to Avoid Warranties
Tesla is facing mounting legal action in the US and Australia as disgruntled owners and staff declare they’ve had enough.
California resident Nyree Hinton has been in the news recently for filing a class action lawsuit against Tesla. He claims Tesla’s odometers are over-reporting mileage to accelerate the time it takes for the vehicles to fall out of warranty. When he purchased his 2020 Model Y in December of 2022, it had 36,722 miles on the clock. However, Hinton was recently on the hook for a $10,000 suspension repair bill that would have been covered had his basic warranty (good for 50,000 miles or 4 years) still been intact.
