Tesla accused of messing with odometers to get out of repair bills

Tesla is facing a proposed class action suit from Nyree Hinton, who alleges that the company manipulates odometer readings to accelerate warranty expirations, thereby reducing repair obligations and compelling consumers to buy extended warranties. Hinton claims that the odometer on his 2020 Model Y misrepresented mileage, increasing by 72 miles daily despite only driving around 20, leading to a premature expiration of his warranty and a $10,000 repair bill. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages for over one million Tesla drivers in California, while Tesla denies all allegations amid prior complaints regarding odometer inaccuracies.
