Tesla Class Action

[Alset Srotom]

So let's pretend a firm opens a class action suit against Tesla for failure to deliver FSD features. Do you join in the suit?

Note: This is not to discuss whether its possible to sue, just whether you would sign on as a plaintiff.

Also note: If you have not purchased FSD your opinion is irrelevant.

I would, but there's no contract, no terms, just a vague statement about autonomous use of "current features" being dependent on achieving reliability and clearing regulatory hurdles. Doesn't mention NoA on city streets or a timeframe. You'd have to bring into the argument Elon's tweets. Honestly, I was duped by his promise of FSD by the end of the year (2020) and the threat of the increase to $10K because they were so close. I can deal with a delay, but looking at the FSDBeta videos, I can see they are no way close to a public release, so yeah, I feel kinda swindled. I'd join the suit even if I could get half my money back.

After legal fees, class-action plaintiffs usually receive about "one dollar and nine cents".

Yeah, the premise would be that Musk misled customers and shareholders, not necessarily linked to any verbiage on the website (though you could make the argument that the website has listed autosteer on city streets as coming later this year since 2019).

Anyways, I'd say look for this news in the near term...

 

[Discoducky]

No, but if you ask for a refund, if I were Tesla, I'd give you a prorated refund.

OP, if you actually wanted votes on something like this (instead of "discussion", why didnt you create it as a poll?

 

[run-the-joules]

At this point, that's likely the only path to getting something for your FSD purchase before the end of the car's useful lifespan, if you purchased before they moved the goalposts in early 2019, and if you upgrade cars with any sort of regularity.

I would rather get what I paid for on my current car, or for Tesla to acknowledge they overpromised and undelivered and let us transfer FSD to a new vehicle or whatever.

Barring that, well, legal action might be the right path.

Yes. I bought it only for that feature otherwise, it is beyond my affordability (I have driving disability). Current features are helping me overcome the said disability but how long more I have to wait to get it, it's been 2 and half years

No. Anybody that bought FSD expecting an autonomous vehicle should have their head examined.

I bought it, because it’s new tech, potentially ground breaking and I want to support it. If it gets to the point of functioning as intended, yay. If it fails, it was a fun experiment. But suing Tesla for thinking outside the box? lol

I have not been told by anybody at Tesla I could use it and not have to drive the vehicle.

The number one rule of flying a plane? Fly the plane. Number one rule of driving a car? Drive the car.

BS. I have recently received $8000 from a class-action suit. It's just that for most people damages are really tiny as well.

Oh, absolutely. I paid for the FSD back in 2018 and so far I got nothing of value.

And I have opted out of mandatory arbitration (that was an option before 2019).

 

[finman100]

no. not gonna happen. please. no class action for this. ridiculous and will not go anywhere.

or get a different car if there's better out there.

 

[Cyberax]

Sure. After Tesla returns me money I paid for FSD.
