Geez, I thought I had you on ignore. Yep. Must be your reply.
As usual, take a swing at the person, not the idea.
Anyway, which performance of one party are you referring to?
I'm talking about the fact that Tesla sold FSD in 2016, with a feature set described. People say that Tesla has no specific date upon which they need to deliver this. That as long as they do it
someday, it's OK. But someday and never are the same thing until that day comes, and at some point we need to agree it's functionally "never."
No Tesla "contract," purchase agreement or anything else lists a date supposedly (we'll conveniently ignore "this year" for city streets in 2019, 2020, and 2021). So, if someone took this to court, and said that in absence of Tesla listing a date, they would like the court to consider 36 months as a reasonable timeframe, as this is half the average new car ownership in the USA. They ask the court to use the contra proferentem doctrine, as it is clear that nobody would spend $5K for something they didn't expect to get any value from during the ownership of the vehicle, and Tesla wrote the contract and failed to list a date ("performance") of delivery.
Why would this be unreasonable? What date do you think a court would consider reasonable for someone that paid $3K in 2016 to actually get what was described for that money, in absence of any other agreed upon date? How does the law cover contracts that say "I'll give you this in the future" with no date listed when the parties start to disagree, one saying "don't worry, it's coming" and the other saying "I expected this a long time ago?" Given this is an option on a specific VIN motor vehicle, that cannot be transferred to another, is it not reasonable that the purchaser expected the functions to exist for a large portion of the normal lifetime of that vehicle?
You seem pretty confident that Tesla's descriptions and contracts have them fully in the clear for at least a few more years. It would be interesting to hear why.
