Under-reporting mileage is an issue because you won’t get the recommended oil checks at the right times, which will shorten your engine life. And it would be generally concerning to the owner, right? We really do assume the odometer is mostly accurate when we’re going on trips.
So I think people would be reporting it if it were happening, but they aren’t, so it’s probably not. Of course this is speculation.
No, it isn’t. Tesla’s past behavior shows that they would definitely try to do this, because they would make a lot of money. And if the odometers were “randomly” poor quality, why would we only see reports of mileage being mistakenly high? Where are the mistaken low reports? Haven’t seen any of those.
Right, but Tesla has had time to push new code to their cars. So we could get a negative result now and still have past shadiness.
That’s the entire point, right? Just use an instance that’s in a country that’s not closely allied with Turkey. Everyone knows that, right? Right?
That depends how you count. Guantanamo Bay was used after 9/11 and many or most of the people who were locked up there didn’t commit any kind of crime. Although, I suppose most of them were not kidnapped on US soil, so it’s not quite the same of course.
