I haven't looked at this thread for a little while, I think I missed an email notification. I don't have a huge amount to add to this thread, a number of people have been in touch with me away from the public glare of this forum though. One interesting development is that Tesla's lawyers are...

I can only offer experience from the UK. I litigated and Tesla fought, but then eventually settled - see my posts on this forum for details. Many other UK owners then did the same as me, and Tesla focused on buying silence with NDAs etc. With other owners they started off fighting but...

Yes, people who have issued a claim against Tesla have been in touch directly with me. I always say the pragmatic thing to do is settle (for effectively the same value as my claim, e.g. including interest, court fees, etc) with an NDA. I also say stop talking to me if they sign it and keep to...

That's very useful - if you're happy you should publish them on this thread so others can make use of it. Ultimately I don't think Tesla would risk having a judge make a decision on this, so people are just looking for some information as to the value. If it's negligible I would deduct £500 from...

Almost certainly!

Those aren't your two options... Those are the two that TW/Tesla want you to take! You can continue to litigation if you do choose. You can write a really quick email to them like this... You will need to calculate interest and total and they will most likely want an NDA. If you don't want an...

I've already had my settlement from Tesla and helped a number get theirs. You can look up what the civil standard of proof is, there's so much evidence this is an easy win. You make your argument in court and it's down to Tesla to disprove it. If the judge thinks there's a 51pc chance your...

No, they couldn't remove FSD in this situation.

This isn't correct. You have a cause of action and if you were so minded, could take Tesla to court. You would need to subtract the value for FSD you received when you sold the car, which is less than £1k according to others.

Thanks, I'm watching the thread now and best of luck to you! I hope you don't mind me reproducing the paragraph below from your lawyers' letter, I think it's relevant to the UK litigation: "It is plainly unreasonable that a customer should have to wait more than four years for a product it has...

I've had people in touch with me directly who have had full settlement offers from Tesla subject to NDA. I always say it's the pragmatic thing to take those offers. Best to be whiter than white in these circumstances so if you sign an NDA keep quiet! The rest of the forum can draw their own...

I'd send them the RFI that I drafted (tweaked to your circumstances) earlier on in this thread.

From the Consumer Rights Act 2015: and I don't think a finance company can argue this falls through the crack, there is nothing to say that "the description" cannot be on the manufacturer's website rather than the finance company's. I would fire off the LBA to the finance company, amending...

Hi George, thanks for your input and I'm glad I'm not the only one that has thought about this. My view is that there's fundamentally a legal claim against Tesla. They cannot change history, and history has a clear record of them making FSD claims which they didn't fulfil. Taylor Wessing have...

Also, it would be unbelievable to think Tesla & Taylor Wessing were not monitoring this thread. So they are well aware of the specifics of the claim, the arguments that will be run, etc. Can't hurt to ask them if they're reading this!
