Tesla is embroiled in a class action lawsuit in the United States, where plaintiff Neri Shinton has accused the company of manipulating vehicle odometers to prematurely exceed warranty periods and evade repair costs. Shinton alleges that the mileage on the used 2020 Model Y he purchased surged abnormally within six months, leading to an early termination of the warranty and forcing him to pay $10,000 out of pocket for repairs. Tesla firmly denies all accusations, and several car owners have come forward to support the company's position. Shinton has requested that the lawsuit be upgraded to a class action status.
