What in the actual hell is a "Predictive" odometer?
It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically
"Whenever you want to scam people as a company, just invent some fancy words that sound like innovation" odometer
It predict when the Tesla is going to fauk and void the guarantee ?
"You should have driven this much after owning the car this long, so we're going to put that in the odometer."
Was my guess.
Probably to void warranties, make cars come back sooner for preventative maintenance, and come back sooner for leases.
