Always read your MVPA and delivery docs.Hell I wasn't aware that was a possibility
The most recent discussion is about the trailer hitch voiding the 12V battery warranty. In this case, you won't necessarily win either because it certainly is plausible the hitch played a role in killing the battery.OP was talking about drive train issues due to towing. That’s not a minor expense.
Not sure how a 12V issue would come into play here but small claims court is always an option.
How does the arbitration clause affect owners who purchased used?They do. I advise everyone purchasing a Tesla to opt out of it within 30 days of purchase.
Attorneys cost money, a lot of money, stupid amounts of money. Companies can easily deplete most people's willingness to hire an attorney. Doesn't take too many hours at $275.00/hr for a consumer to realize how expensive taking something to court is and just opt to drop it.That would take a single hour in court with a competent attorney to rectify. Then you could sue for damages.
I think even Tesla would tread lightly in that scenario.
Same. 30 days to opt out.How does the arbitration clause affect owners who purchased used?
Tesla is known for just not showing up to court. in that case, they default and you win.Attorneys cost money, a lot of money, stupid amounts of money.

"They're not known for showing up in court" is not a reliable legal position. Small claims court is usually limited to $5K. An attorney, filing a lawsuit, can easily eat up $20K. I had a parking issue with my condo community and the cost just to write a letter was over $1,500. Just to write a friggen letter!Tesla is known for just not showing up to court. in that case, they default and you win.
If the issue is over a $20K battery, I think $1000 in lawyers fees, which you can also recoup from Tesla, is worth it.
Small claims court cost nothing but filing fees. Which you can also recoup.
Don’t be afraid to go after a company that is treating you like *sugar*.
Good to know. I assume the how to do so is in the warranty book that came with the car?Same. 30 days to opt out.
It’s in the MVPA docs. There is no book that comes with the car.Good to know. I assume the how to do so is in the warranty book that came with the car?
Like I said, I would pay the lawyer upfront if it’s a $20,000 battery issue and worry about recouping costs down the road."They're not known for showing up in court" is not a reliable legal position.

I wouldn't mind upfronting the $20K if I knew I was going to get it back. However with the legal system one never knows. Especially when the defendant can lose the case and refuse to reimburse legal fees. Then one has to spend more money trying to get the legal fees.Like I said, I would pay the lawyer upfront if it’s a $20,000 battery issue and worry about recouping costs down the road.
Your strategy may be different.
What is an MVPA document? I checked the documents which came with my car and all I have is the "Roadside Assistance" and "Safety Information" booklets (which I believe are all that comes with the car). Is this the online documentation within the car itself?It’s in the MVPA docs. There is no book that comes with the car.

I don't like it but that's the reality of the legal system, at least in the US.
