A Tesla influencer randomly caught his odometer double-counting mileage on video. Wild.

Amazing the Tesla dev team that made this was dumb enough to actually put it in the UI in real-time. Just updates the mileage behind the scenes in data, then only update the UI slowly along the way. Not actually double counting in the UI visibly fast lmaoo

Edit: fine maybe it was a product team or whatever. Someone somewhere made the decision NOT to decouple real-time mileage data from the UI lol

You think the dev team made the decision about this?

Also if I'm the dev on this project and I've been told to do this, this is exactly how to implement it. Malicious compliance baybeee

Wrong answer. If your employer orders you to commit odometer fraud, you quit and you sue. Never break the law for your employer.
