Only in California, but it’s a start. I can’t wait to get my check for $4.20 in 2035!

Well....the vast majority of Tesla owners come from California! You also see that the other states with high ownership are blue states that usually follow California's step.

I just read that it’s only going to proceed with Tesla owners who:

  • purchased FSD packages between October 2016 and May 2017
  • opted out of Tesla’s arbitration agreement between 2017 and mid-2024

That’s not very many people.

How about the FTC or someone do something about the blatant false advertising they've been doing over the last 10 years instead of just waiting for someone to sue them!? Fuck, just do your damn jobs.

Under the trump administration? I'd be rather surprised.

But Tesla already lost a case and false advertising was a huge part of that, that means AFAIK every subsequent case will be harder to defend for Tesla https://youtu.be/2znwoOp2rw4

As much as it may feel like it, Trump hasn't been President for the last 10 years.
