Oh this is just fucking beautiful.
Get this kids. Drumpf's co-conspirator, wealthiest human on planet Earth, and guy who is currently rampaging through the US Social Security and Medicare systems, rooting out what he determines to be 'deadbeat' grandmas and grandpas to remove from those programs so that he can grab more billion dollar government contracts for his companies, has just been sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging his EV automobile company Tesla has been screwing over customers by monkeying with the odometer readings.
If not mistaken, I do believe that is also a federal felony and a felony offense in the majority of US states folks.
If Elmo is found guilty in this lawsuit of having manipulated the odometers on these people's cars, I think he ought to be immediately arrested and charged with those federal and state crimes, and then if he is convicted in a US courtroom of those crimes he should summarily have his US citizenship revoked, and carpetbagging, billionaire ass put on the first one-way plane ride to his home country of South Africa . . . shackled hands to ankles.
Anyone believe that would actually happen with the subservient apparatchiks in Drumpf's DOJ? Yeah, sadly me neither.
Link: Tesla Accused of Inflating Odometer Numbers to Avoid Repair Payouts | PCMag
"Tesla is inflating odometer numbers to avoid paying for under-warranty repairs, according to a class-action lawsuit filed in California.
Plaintiff Nyree Hinton argues that odometers rely on "predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual miles traveled," IEN reports.
Hinton purchased a used 2020 Tesla Model Y in December 2022 with 36,772 miles on the odometer. Six months later, the odometer read 50,000 miles, an increase of 13,228 miles. With the same driving routine in previous years on different vehicles, one Chevy and one Mercedes, Hinton only drove around 6,086 miles, suggesting a 117% increase with the Tesla.
Hinton noticed an "abnormal spike" in the odometer reading as the vehicle's basic warranty (four years or 50,000 miles) approached, despite his vehicle sitting in the repair shop for long periods around this time. This led Hinton to believe Tesla had "devised a scheme to increase profits and retain the revenue from the purchase" of additional, extended warranty agreements. Tesla offers several of these packages, which drivers can add on when their basic warranty expires.
After the warranty expired, the odometer's rate of increase slowed, Hinton says, even though he started driving more at the time, commuting multiple days a week from Irvine to Los Angeles, a roughly 100-mile trip."
The sheer number of shady, morally deviant, and corrupt charlatans, professional con artists and liars, and greed mongers in this new Drumpf administration defies sentient belief. It really does. Elmo is just the most prolific of them.
