My experience taking Tesla to court about FSD

It’s even worse than them trying to deceive. Tesla could fall foul of unfair contracts legislation (unfair terms directive?) which would land them in deep *sugar* with seriously powerful organisations such as CMA that if they put Tesla under further scrutiny could be an even bigger issue for Tesla.
Wouldn’t take much to find a solicitor offering 30 minutes free legal advice and run that past them. Also remember that many people have legal cover under their home or car insurance policies. If they agreed to take on a case then you know that you have a pretty good case and the solicitors would recover their fees.
IMHO the cleanest resolution for Tesla would be for them to admit that they have failed to deliver as promised and offer a full ex gratia refund with a reasonable offer of compensation, ie interest. That would I think placate many purchasers and actually be positive press for Tesla.
That would be very much appreciated!
I'd rather not post the full snotogram I got back from Tesla, and as a new member on this forum I can't seem to DM you. If you drop me a hello at russcasey~at~gmail.com we can talk further.
The summary of my situation is I bought an M3P with FSD around the same time you did. I bought cash and still have the car. Every aspect of my interaction with Tesla has been excellent other than the way they have dealt with the broken promises around FSD.
I sent a letter to T a few weeks ago after seeing your results, for similar reasons that you brought action - Tesla should be better at handling situations when contractual promises based on optimism don't pan out.
This would be the obvious play. Anything less and they are alienating the people who most strongly support them.

Same as mine probably.
“Tesla is disappointed, values its customers, but not you.”
That's why they get away with it. There's always someone who will believe in their vapourware.
Only problem with that is that I don’t think you can get a trade in price from Tesla minus the FSD contribution. As soon as you put your VIN in it knows you have FSD and gives you a price with it included. You’d have to plug in the details of an equivalent Tesla without FSD, somehow.
The trade in value they give you definitely doesn’t value FSD at the full price.

I fell for it twice. Time to renew my car and I’m not paying for it for a 3rd time.
My letter goes in next week but I may agree to accept a FSD transfer to my new vehicle.
It doesn't have to be a value from Tesla, you just need a value with and without FSD.

I am assuming that Tesla will jump at "Transfer", but they might not next time ... so maybe cover that off now something like "to a vehicle after that if it still has not reached original expectation"

I don’t think you need that much of details - remember he is Elon
So just write
Elon, The richest person on Planet earth
Tesla, UK
That will do.
