Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

That is the weirdest thing. There are so many relatively easy ways, I would assume legally required ways, to measure mileage. Why would you guess based on those metrics? Be interesting to see if this lawsuit goes anywhere but my guess would be no. Not because Musk has been an honest businessman on Tesla but this just seems like a weird one to cheat on.

Narcissists generally operate from the assumption that everyone else is dumber than they are, so what seems to non-narcissists like a weird thing to cheat on seems perfectly reasonable to them.

It's worth noting, I think, that the allegations are in a plaintiffs' suit against Tesla and there's not been discovery yet. There is really nothing to this right now except a couple of people saying they think that their mileage was messed up and also Tesla filed a patent (which isn't terribly relevant).

The cute ploy is that the car supposedly maintains proper mileage until it gets near the warranty expiration. So it's not the easiest thing to detect.
