    I’d be willing to bet Tesla odos go off GPS readings instead of any sort of physical sensor or mechanism. All kinds of opportunity to screw the reading up that way, intentionally or otherwise.

      I wonder if EU has some specifications regarding odometers.

      It can’t believe we don’t have a standard on how that it needs to work.

      That can’t be legal, there is surely a requirement for having odometers that are hard to manipulate to avoid fraud

        I hope so, but if their intent is to commit fraud what is and isn’t legal might not prevent them from ending up with manipulated results
