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.

Literally. And it sucks. There’s reasons they don’t do it like this anymore.

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

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.

…but what are we actually trying to measure here? The miles travelled, or the wear and tear that’s caused by the wheels spinning?

Fair, and thinking about it it doesn’t account for unnecessary wheelspin

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