Only thing silly is to trust Tesla. Their own patent explains the odometer does not rely on distance travelled:https://patents.google.com/patent/US8054038B2/en

    The word odometer is not there. Tesla legal dept is not entirely dumb. There are strong implications throughout the patent that distance estimation, trip planning, and battery charge planning are heavily software-driven, and that mileage to be driven or driven is calculated through software, based on user input and various external conditions.

So you're saying because they're doing so much smart stuff to estimate trip distances, they must be using the same smart stuff to fudge the odometer?
