But mine seem very close. Roughly 1.2k miles on the car and Google does say I did 1212 miles of driving. I know this because of my model 3 getting to 80k miles so I kept track vs Google timeline. I'm not sure if I believe they're fudging the numbers. Tesla service can also see when a fault develops and have honoured expired warranty for a friend after he went over as their log said this error started appearing while it was still below the mileage. Fuck Musk, but I've had very good experience with my car. I'm not going to be buying new one, ever, but it's straight up the best EV out there. I have tried Ford mustang, mg 4,5 and Zs. Hyundai, BYD and KIA. They're sub par vs teslas from 5 years ago. permalink fedilink source parent
