short, maintain a log. Could be very expensive for Tesla should they get caught altering mileage on vehicles just to arbitrarily save $. Illegally I might say, in effect, ripping off the buyers of these cars. Cameras are everywhere, take pics every day, and also, more of a hassle but worth it, is maintain a daily log, for those of us who have small businesses, this would be fairly easy to do, and actually might result you in getting some compensation later should Tesla continue w/ their scumbag efforts to shortchange consumers.
