In the past, Tesla lawyers even initiated lawsuits against customers who dared to criticize the quality of their cars or services. Such cases are documented and therefore not fake news. Last week, moreover, DOGE dismantled the department responsible for safety control and approval of new cars entering the market. Tesla experienced too many problems with this department in the past and now, through DOGE, took the opportunity to simply dismantle it. Moral of the story... buy a Tesla, a “safe” decision.

Good thing we have the CFPB to register and punish companies for shady practices like th...oh, nevermind.
Wrong gutted regulator
Or intentionally?

A odometer is a smell sensor, no?
They don't install those in new cars, you need one made in the ol'factory.
How silly, it's obvious that would be an odormeter. An odometer is about something else entirely.
Obviously!
That's a smellometer!
Let's use the Smelloscope!
No
But odor!
Hodor
You can't change the tire size on a Model Y very much because of the weird suspension design.
Plus, to double the mileage registered by using different size tires, you'd have to put a roughly 10" tire on a Model Y.
Well I'm curious to find out what discovery will show.
Wow that's a scummy thing to do. Just like apple I will never buy a Tesla product.
Apple’s odometers are fine.
Pedometers, you mean?
Well, true, but tyres wouldn't make it a double distance, it's not that simple. The case isn't clear, if course, but the claim says that the odometer tried to reduce the range after it got out of the warranty period.
Not saying anything about the merit of the case, just the the claim itself sounds interesting and that if true, you can't wave it away with "you changed tyres".
