Three owners of Tesla cars in California have filed a class-action lawsuit against the automaker for allegedly deliberately cheating and advertising false information about how far it can go on a single charge. The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California.
The claimants refer to news agencies in the application Reuters according to the results of the investigation, it is reported that Tesla created special teams whose sole task was to get rid of customer complaints and service visit requests related to the distance driven on a single charge.
in the same way Reuters the report says that Tesla’s software is deliberately designed in such a way that with a full battery, the car’s instrument panel promises a greater driving distance than it is actually capable of doing. When the remaining battery of the car reaches 50% or less, then the information about the driving distance with the remaining battery is already more accurate.
Neither Tesla itself, nor the head of the company, Elon Musk, had so far commented on the information that was made public Reuters. “Simply put, Tesla’s responsibility is to deliver a car that can deliver on what it promises,” said Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman attorney Adam Edwards, who represents the plaintiffs. Various cases with inaccurate information are also indicated, for example, the car lost 182 miles of the promised driving distance during a 92-mile trip. “If Tesla were to honestly advertise the range per charge, customers would either not have bought Teslas or would have paid significantly less for them,” the filing states. The case has been filed as a class action representing “all persons who purchased new Tesla Model 3, Model X, Model Y and Model S” vehicles in California.
