Tesla is facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that it speeds up odometers on its electric vehicles to reduce warranty obligations. The plaintiff, Nyree Hinton, claims that the odometer readings are inflated, causing his warranty to expire prematurely and resulting in a $10,000 repair bill. Hinton seeks compensatory and punitive damages for potentially over 1 million affected vehicles in California. Tesla has denied the allegations and moved the case to federal court.
