Waller v. Tesla, Inc.

What this case is about

Consumers are suing Tesla, alleging the company failed to deliver vehicles that meet the standards promised at the time of purchase. The plaintiffs claim that Tesla sold cars with features, capabilities, or performance characteristics that did not match what was advertised or contractually agreed upon, constituting a breach of contract. This may involve issues such as advertised driving range, software features, build quality, or other vehicle specifications that buyers say were misrepresented or not honored. The proposed class is expected to include customers across the United States who purchased Tesla vehicles and experienced similar gaps between what was promised and what was actually delivered, seeking compensation for the difference in value and any related damages.
