Tesla's "Predictive" Odometers Had 9+ Drivers Complaining of Inaccuracy Before Lawsuit. We Even Found Video! - FuelArc News
A Tesla influencer randomly caught his odometer double-counting mileage on video. Wild.
Amazing the Tesla dev team that made this was dumb enough to actually put it in the UI in real-time. Just updates the mileage behind the scenes in data, then only update the UI slowly along the way. Not actually double counting in the UI visibly fast lmaoo
What in the actual hell is a "Predictive" odometer?
It predict when the Tesla is going to fauk and void the guarantee ?
One of the drivers mentioned in this article has a youtube video showing his odometer going from 124,999 to 125,001, completely skipping 125,000. One of the comments asks him to reach out to the law firm handling the class action lawsuit, but the owner replies with:
Happy to help if you're interested in paying a consultation fee for my time-- but otherwise these actions only enrich the law firms and I'm not volunteering to do that.
This mindset is so frustrating. Class action lawsuits are legit, they hold companies accountable and they pay out cash to people. To say that they only enrich law firms is not just wrong, but I think actually harmful to repeat like he has, especially in the great age of enshittification where everything tries to force binding arbitration agreements into every contract and agreement.
Well if the law firm pay 20 cents check after making millions, what's the point.
The point is that the company being sued has to pay those millions in the first place. The law firm does pay itself rather well for that work, but I'd consider class actions to be one of the more defensible legal actions.
I got like $50 from an Apple settlement a month or two ago
Sounds like he's more loyal to Tesla than to the consumers it hurt
He'll be buried in one
I admit I didn’t watch the video — I’ve trained YouTube’s algorithm well at this point and don’t want Tesla content — but what the fuck is a predictive odometer? The tires roll a certain distance. We’ve had odometers for like 75 years.
The article mentions that Tesla is kind of justifying the behavior by saying it is based on energy consumption and some other bullshit. The expectation according to SAE, which I find very interesting, is to be in a range of +/- 4% and for GPS enabled odometers+/- 2.5%, Tesla is missing the mark for at least 36%.
A product that has a warranty which depends on any "predictive" metric is probably a scam, tbh.

We need to call them what they are; shills.
Seriously. This dude is delusional.
The law firm going after Tesla for this offered to represent him via a class action, and this idiot has the gall to ask the law firm for payment?
The world would be better off if his Tesla self-drove itself into a wall. Ideally with him inside.
Insanity hey. Goes to show you can very easily be wealthy but not smart.
Can't argue with that XD
His main deal is that he does Tesla stuff. His website is "Tesla Pittsburgh," so yeah, he's a Tesla guy.
Pathetic losers. And, even "Nazis" if they're still in the Tesla community.
Video link for the layzee.
Breaking news. Learned something new today.
I mean this utterly unironically: I'm glad :)
