California resident Nyree Hinton has been in the news recently for filing a class action lawsuit against Tesla. He claims Tesla’s odometers are over-reporting mileage to accelerate the time it takes for the vehicles to fall out of warranty. When he purchased his 2020 Model Y in December of 2022, it had 36,722 miles on the clock. He cites his driving history, with one of his daily routes covering 20 miles and the Tesla reporting 72. In Tesla’s case, the basic warranty Hinton’s Model Y came with expires after 50,000 miles or 4 years.
