If "you" cant be bothered to do the legwork that is "your" problem. Class actions are great and a solicitors dream.The problem with that advice is that none of this will set a precedent so Tesla carry on as before and only refunding the few people that can actually be bothered to go through the whole process
If I had dropped £5k on something that didn't work, I could stomach a few e-mails to get my money back...The problem with that advice is that none of this will set a precedent so Tesla carry on as before and only refunding the few people that can actually be bothered to go through the whole process
Agree, they sell too many cars at this point and with good margins to fail at least in short to mid-term. Impossible to predict long term but it seems unlikely.I sympathise and I absolutely love driving my car.
The company itself, however, has been going down a slippery slope of apparent contempt for its customers and downright lying on its promises.
Making it behave doesn’t mean making it fail.
It’s high time they got a wake up call.
I agree, however, that I would be very sad to see it fail. But I doubt that’s likely.
So if you feel strongly - why not progress a class action? Plenty of law firms out there that specialise in this.Fine. This still doesn’t account for the fact that small claims don’t set a precedent so Tesla are free to go on fleecing other unsuspecting customers
Because of this: My experience taking Tesla to court about FSDSo if you feel strongly - why not progress a class action? Plenty of law firms out there that specialise in this.
Tesla have asked for "further time to consider our position", as the 21 days for the LBA has now passed.
Wondering if you have any advice as to whether I should allow it or just start the small claims process regardless?
Your call, but I would just issue the claim. The only cost to you is the issue fee (£455 when I did it) and I just added that to what Tesla needed to pay me.
I can't see the advantage to you of waiting? Ultimately, if they "consider their position" and decide to settle with everyone who has bought FSD, they'll settle with you and pay the £455.
The other thing is that when I issued the claim I added court interest to it which was quite a substantial amount.
They’ve asked me for more time to respond too.To try and keep everything in the open, someone asked me:
My reply:
So let me get this straight.They’ve asked me for more time to respond too.
The reason for the interest calculation starting on 1st Jan 2020 is pretty simple. When I bought the car in 2019 the FSD on city streets was "coming later this year". This means any time up until 31st Dec 2019. My claim was they failed to deliver this, and therefore the loss I suffered didn't start from the purchase date of the car but from the last date they failed to deliver - e.g. 31st Dec 2019. So my loss started then, meaning 1st Jan 2020 was the first day of interest.
