A Tesla influencer randomly caught his odometer double-counting mileage on video. Wild.
Wait, isn’t tinkering with odometers like super fucking illegal in europe?
Not in Germany. Here in France we know to never buy a used German car : the odometer would certainly have been tinkered with.
How the hell is this not illegal in Germany?! They love to over regulate everything
It is illegal in Germeny, if the purpose is to falsify it, and legal to correct a wrong record: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvg/__22b.html
The trick is to correct it to a wrong record!
Amazing the Tesla dev team that made this was dumb enough to actually put it in the UI in real-time. Just updates the mileage behind the scenes in data, then only update the UI slowly along the way. Not actually double counting in the UI visibly fast lmaoo
Edit: fine maybe it was a product team or whatever. Someone somewhere made the decision NOT to decouple real-time mileage data from the UI lol
You think the dev team made the decision about this?
Also if I’m the dev on this project and I’ve been told to do this, this is exactly how to implement it. Malicious compliance baybeee
Wrong answer. If your employer orders you to commit odometer fraud, you quit and you sue. Never break the law for your employer.
