I was reading a CA lawsuit filed this month on how people have found the Model X was registering a higher number of miles for a drive causing warranty to end early. So I ran a measured mile and sure enough mine is also doing it. the miles I drove was 27.2 and the car shows 29.4. I cut a ticket and was told by Tesla service call in line NOT my normal service center that they don't know how to address this. And to call back next week so they can explain why this is happening to the car. so basically every 16 miles on the odometer I have really driven 15. So for 42000 miles showing It should read 2800 less.

Wow, that is actually shocking if it’s accurate. I wonder if there is variance in the amount it’s off by, or if it is roughly the same for every vehicle? Also, does this likely also apply to other models? This could likely be a massive issue for Tesla if there are vehicles running at of warranty a few thousand miles too early.

Edit: Fixed typos and spelling errors.

@moortime how did you measure your mileage? I would like to try it in my 2020 MX but I don't know how to go about it.
I'd like to know as well so I can do it in my 2024 M3LR. It would be nice to know if this is an issue on older models only, or if it is still occurring in newer models.

I tried 3 ways
1 state highway measured mile
2 a friend drove behind me for 15 miles and the app i'm using and his new 2024 Toyota said 15 miles the car showed 16.4
and 3 I downloaded and have used in the past driversnote
remember I found this as a CA class action lawsuit.
I will update everyone on Tuesday after I cut my second ticket with Tesla
remember this will affect trade in value, warranty and battery warranty.

Also FYI my account after posting this was deleted i had to create a new account to get back in.

That's odd, why would your account be deleted for posting this? There has to be more to it than just making a post.
