A California Tesla owner has filed a lawsuit claiming that the automaker sped up the vehicle's odometer, causing the warranty to expire faster.
Plaintiff Nyree Hinton alleges that Tesla's odometer readings do not reflect actual mileage and instead rely on algorithms and energy consumption to calculate mileage.
Hinton purchased a used 2020 Model Y and claims that the car's mileage was recorded at least 15 percent faster than it should have.
The lawsuit seeks punitive and compensatory damages for Tesla owners in California, potentially impacting over a million vehicles.
