If this dissolution appeared right around the time their shop vanished I think it's safe to say that this wasn't just some paperwork snafu.

You might have a point if it was a "voluntary dissolution", ie initiated by the LLC, but that's not what happened. "Administrative Dissolution" means you didn't pay fees due to the state, file an annual report, etc. See section 57D‑6‑06 "Administrative dissolution" in the document @CrankyGypsy posted in post #940 for specifics.If this dissolution appeared right around the time their shop vanished I think it's safe to say that this wasn't just some paperwork snafu.
One could have meant to just forget to file the paperwork as one's way of walking away from things.You might have a point if it was a "voluntary dissolution", ie initiated by the LLC, but that's not what happened.

Maybe it is just a careless dropping the ball, the SOS usually will send reminder and warning for dissolution, or maybe there is a private sale prior and simply have not file for change of principal or trust another party will do so but that party fail to do so ... I think it depends on the individual state the consequences of continuing operation, one may just back file the report and pay the fines.. State usually will not actively pursue it.One could have meant to just forget to file the paperwork as one's way of walking away from things.
Looks lie Jason wasn’t completely honest as to what happened to the businessWell, I received a response from 057 Companies LLC. They are holding zero responsibility and stated they are out of business.
If the company filed for bankruptcy, I doubt that chargeback will work. Jason lied to all of us here. At leadt my battery never failed during the two year period. I feel horrible for all that had battery failures during their warranty periodsWhat a jerk response by Julian Reid, btw.
Again, I suggest anyone with an 057 Service Plan fill out the TN DCA form located here with instructions.
As for recourse: it is now obvious, despite what Hughes had sworn up and down while threatening members with legal action, that no one is going to get service. This business spans two states, with national customers. What a mess. I'm admittedly ignorant of the law, so would appreciate any input. At this point, chargeback seems to me to be the best option to not involve us organizing lawyers and waiting months/years to resolve. Suggestions?
You should sue Jason on NC and TN small claims courtsWhen I got home and was able to look at my saved copy of the invoice PDF, I confirmed the invoicing title and logo on the QuickBooks-generated invoice from an ESP purchased on 23Jun2023 were also using the new company name.

If you can prove fraud, you can go after him personally. Also, you might get an AG to file criminal chargesClass action against defunct LLCs? Yeah, that would go nowhere. You could sue Jason, but would likely go nowhere as well, you didn't have dealings with him, only with the LLC.
Yes, if they lied to the merchant service company. That is bank fraud.Does accepting a credit card payment as 057 Technologies LLC almost 2 months after its dissolution constitute a crime?
If I didn't already have our 13 S85 with 136K miles, FUSC, and MCU2 I would be all over this. I'd love a 100kWh pack and get that Supercharging curve and the greater efficiency of the dual motor. The more I'm thinking about it, perhaps I'll talk it over with some relatives. Seemingly great car at a great price.
Yeah cool car at that price……but….umm…..yeah, fu@k that guy!!If I didn't already have our 13 S85 with 136K miles, FUSC, and MCU2 I would be all over this.

Especially as you could probably work with him to go through a "dealer" and get the $4k used EV tax credit.If I didn't already have our 13 S85 with 136K miles, FUSC, and MCU2 I would be all over this.

i don't think its even a good price with damage...Yeah cool car at that price……but….umm…..yeah, fu@k that guy!!
I wonder if it comes with a wk57 service plan ... ah, ha ha hai don't thing its even a good price with damage...
AP1 cars are super cheap now days...
sure its clean title n upgraded pack but still old n still needs work...
Partners in crime! Sorry, couldn’t help myself!FYI for the group if this hasn't been established: Julien Reed and Keith Baker are definitely partners in some capacity.
Also the fact my @wk057 pack failed 11 months after he sold it to me for $23k is really, really pissing me off.
to clarify i just double checked, it was may 5 of 2023 i took delivery of the upgraded car, and it failed yesterday after about 33k milesAccording to the spoon, Wk057 was doing business just 11 months ago, that's March 2023. Looks like he just missed sale of the business.
What alerts did you get?to clarify i just double checked, it was may 5 of 2023 i took delivery of the upgraded car, and it failed yesterday after about 33k miles
