Hmm. All the class actions I'm aware of are initiated by lawyers trolling for fees. They find one or more aggrieved parties to be the primary plaintiff(s) and then sign up lots of other people with the promise of significant remunerations for wrongs suffered. In the end, they settle, obtaining $3.75 or thereabouts for each person, something substantial for the primary plaintiff(s), and 10x that for themselves. Sound familiar?A class action doesn't work that way. I've been involved in a couple of them. It's literally one person that sues and becomes a class representative.
Oh, come on. Most stuff regarding Tesla on the web is FUD. If you believe it, you're a sucker. So for this issue, I've seen enough posts and complaints to convince me that there must be more than 50 people with problems. Are there 500? 5000? more? Show me some evidence. And if it's just pre-facelift Model S vehicles, then I don't think you're looking at much more than 50,000 in the total population.What evidence do you have that it's almost nobody? I've seen people all across the Internet, on social media, YouTube etc complaining that their cars charging speed got nerfed, and they don't know why. Further investigation that required some technical sleuthing linked it to firmware updates.
A little statistical analysis should give you a pretty good handle on how many vehicles have problems. And yet I haven't seen that. So I conclude that those in whose interest it would be to discover a large number of problems (e.g. anybody involved in the lawsuit) has instead probably found a small number. So they're ramping up the noise and downplaying the facts. That's what you do when you have no case (or a weak one). So let's see some evidence.
I'll note that none of the complainers here have said anything like: "We're sure there are xxx vehicles affected, and it's likely that at least yyy are affected because...." It happened to me so it must be a big problem for many people is simply not a viable argument.
