Tesla Owner Fails To Beat Tesla In Court Regarding Tempuh Distance Fraud
JAKARTA - Tesla's electric car owners who accuse Tesla of defrauding consumers with a travel distance ads for their electric vehicles failing to advance together (class action) are suing the court.
Launching Reuters on March 8, US Federal Justices decided they could not sue Tesla together but individually.
US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers inID California said on Thursday, March 7, that the Tesla owners had approved arbitration provisions to resolve disputes with the automakers when they bought their vehicles.
Previously, it was widely reported that the plaintiffs accused Tesla of cheating or cheating by persuading consumers to buy their cars by overestimating the distance traveled by car with a single charge.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff also accused Tesla, led by CEO Elon Musk, of misappropriating the distance traveled on vehicle dashboards.

Meanwhile, a special Reuters report in July revealed that Tesla had formed a secret team to quell the owner's complaint about the distance. And Tesla called the claim in the lawsuit "baseless."
On the judge's decision, the attorney for the owner or plaintiff called Tesla's attempt to force individual arbitration as "an attempt to avoid widespread responsibility for its fraudulent behavior."
It is also known that Tesla has lowered travel distance estimates on all its electric vehicles in January 2024, as an implementation of a new US government vehicle testing regulation, to ensure automakers accurately reflect their performance in the real world.
