Good advice for 057 and some other car companies as well.

My wife and I were throwing around this idea. Maybe he’s so good at what he does, Tesla sent a cease and desist letter and settlement to shutdown as he took so much business away from Tesla.
Maybe he’s running repairs and teaching them to tesla SC’s or something. When you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em?
Still leaves zero excuse for no communication though.
Isn't there is a right to repair bill, I don't see 057 has any advantages or merits that gives or threatens Tesla to do that, also EV Republic in CA has similar operations.

Tesla couldn't stop 057, not were they doing a significant number of repairs in the grand scheme of things... it was like one service center.
Also, Tesla's service centers aren't a good profit center for them, so 057 wasn't really taking money out of their pockets.

While Jason has/had a great business, I don't think he did so much business as to threaten Tesla to cause them to send a C&D. But at the same time, it sounds like pretty big lawyers are involved to keep whatever happened so hush-hush for so long, so maybe it is a Tesla action taking place?
Instead of all the doom and gloom.. what else could have happened?
The EV business space 057Tech is in isn't that big.
This is all conjecture (like most of this thread), but who could the other possible player(s) be? In the U.S. I know of (there are probably more):
- Tesla
- Electrified Garage
- Gruber Motors
- Ingineerix (Phil)
- EV’s Republic
- EVFixMe
- T Sportline (although they were acquired in 2021)
- Unplugged Performance
- -- or some new entrant into the space that wanted to jump-start their EV repair business
But I could envision some sort of new joint venture with Ingineerix. Wow... talk about a brain trust.
Yes, this kind of matter will eventually resolved legally one way or the other.

Statute of limitation before us consumers have to lawyer up?
Is it NC statute of limitations I have to worry about, or my state?

Assuming the dissolution of the LLC was caused by deteriorating financial health, what makes you think that there would be any assets in the LLC to be dispersed?
Yes but it takes bankruptcy court to discover this unfortunately.
As I said upthread, you cannot assume that dissolution of an LLC has ANYTHING to do with "deteriorating financial health." Simply forgetting to file an LLC's one-page annual report with the state is enough to trigger administrative dissolution.
I don't participate in class action BS on general principle. I prefer to let the sharks starve.
Jason has mentioned in the past that he has been recruited by Tesla, but didn't want to move to CA.

Simply forgetting to file the one-page and annual report alone would not cause the radio silence, "gag" order and vacation of the premises. I have no idea what's going on but it is more than just a clerical error.
There's been several implications or outright statements that "administrative dissolution" means something nefarious happened/is happening. All I'm saying is administrative dissolution is meaningless and gives no clue as to what happened (I paid for a warranty and never received a BMD, too, so I'm in the same boat as many others).
I refer back to Jason's last post, #90. Not much we can do but wait to hear more, unless someone wants to waste money bringing in lawyers to play a version of the Prisoner's Dilemma. But setting a pile of bills on fire is more direct, will be just as effective, and cuts out the middleman.

Totally agree on "administrative dissolution" does not mean any nefarious happenings, but a pattern of not filing or very late filing annual reports, not responding to queries, refunds, shop shutdown, and cryptic messages does raises questions and causing speculations.
As for whether lawyers can really help or how much it can help, it becomes complicated .. what is covered by LLC law, what is excluded, what can be expected, whether it is worth it ... it is up to the individual to decide. Heck, if it is my brother, he will hound someone to death even a dime, others are usually much more gracious, not judging either way.
