87. Numerosity. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a)(1): The members of the classes proposed herein are so numerous and geographically dispersed that individual joinder of all proposed class members is impracticable. While Plaintiffs believe that there are thousands of members of the proposed classes, the precise number of class members is unknown to them, but may be ascertained from Tesla’s books and records. Class members may be notified of the pendency of this action by recognized, court-approved notice dissemination methods, which may include U.S. Mail, electronic mail, Internet postings, and/or published notice.
This is why we can't have nice things.
...Class action suits can be trivial, with tiny benefits for the plaintiffs and huge rewards for the lawyers. But they can also be useful when a corporation genuinely misbehaves and it's not practical for each damaged person to pursue justice on their own...

Update: a Tesla spokesperson sent us the following statement:
This lawsuit is a disingenuous attempt to secure attorney’s fees posing as a legitimate legal action, which is evidenced by the fact that the suit misrepresents many facts. Many of the features this suit claims are “unavailable” are in fact available, with more updates coming every month. We have always been transparent about the fact that Enhanced Autopilot software is a product that would roll out incrementally over time, and that features would continue to be introduced as validation is completed, subject to regulatory approval. Furthermore, we have never claimed our vehicles already have functional “full self-driving capability”, as our website has stated in plain English for all potential customers that “it is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval.” The inaccurate and sensationalistic view of our technology put forth by this group is exactly the kind of misinformation that threatens to harm consumer safety.
Tesla currently describes the EAP rollout process as needing extensive development and certification. However, the description was very different when the subject vehicles were sold. At that time, a broad range of features - some now available and some no longer even talked about - were described as needing only final validation, with delivery expected in December 2016.
