The video shows it going like 14999 to 15001 skipping 15000.

I admit I didn’t watch the video — I’ve trained YouTube’s algorithm well at this point and don’t want Tesla content — but what the fuck is a predictive odometer? The tires roll a certain distance. We’ve had odometers for like 75 years.

You’d think they would make it increment every half mile instead of doing something stupid like this.

Yeah if you’re gonna do a fraud at least put the minimum thought into it. It’s disrespectful is what it is. Gives honest grifters a bad name

Except in this case they’re defrauding customers instead of corporate like in Office Space…

My odometer on my 2012 Honda increments every TENTH of a mile. As do most older cars…

You can remove YouTube videos from your watch history, so they don’t influence your algorithm.

Or don’t use YouTube on their platform.

FreeTube, Grayjay, etc are better experiences by far

The article mentions that Tesla is kind of justifying the behavior by saying it is based on energy consumption and some other bullshit. The expectation according to SAE, which I find very interesting, is to be in a range of +/- 4% and for GPS enabled odometers+/- 2.5%, Tesla is missing the mark for at least 36%.

So we traded a proven, reliable, physical laws based method (wheel roll) in favor of unreliable electronics. Nice.

You’ve summed up every aspect of the Tesla. Especially now that real car companies are taking EVs seriously.

Reinventing the wheel.

That makes your warranty expire faster. It’s not in the users favor.

Electronics can be extremely reliable, but Tesla chose to be sleezebags.

I think that pretty much sums up the entire ethos of Silicon Valley these days.

It’s not really that reliable as it it will depend on the diameter of the wheels that can vary with pressure, wear, and and actual tyre size.
A better method may be a sensor like the one used in optical mice.
AugustWest@lemm.ee 1 month ago
I have test all three methods. GPS is the best, but it has drop outs. You can add an inertial gyro system to compensate, but that becomes sloppy the longer it goes without GPS.
The tire method has a lot of variances, but the measure at the transmission is often worse.

…but what are we actually trying to measure here? The miles travelled, or the wear and tear that’s caused by the wheels spinning?
SavageCreation@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Fair, and thinking about it it doesn’t account for unnecessary wheelspin
