According to a new class action lawsuit, Tesla misrepresented that its Model S & Model X vehicles will come with three years of free supercharging for anyone who bought them between April and June 2023.
Sean Cohen, the plaintiff, contends that while allegedly falsely advertising the fact that it would and deceiving customers into paying extra for the Model S and Model X, Tesla did not genuinely intend to offer free supercharging to Tesla customers.
According to Cohen, Tesla successfully operated an internet marketing ploy that included falsely promoting limitless free supercharging for customers who bought Model S and Model X automobiles between April 20 and June 30.
The Tesla class action claims that if the plaintiff had understood that the ad copy as provided below was false, dishonest, and misleading, he would not have bought a unit of the items or would have paid a significantly lower price.
Cohen is seeking to represent a class of customers in California who have bought a Tesla Model S or Model X for their own use since May 17, 2019.
When buying an electric vehicle, Tesla is aware that supercharging prices are important to consumers, according to a class action lawsuit
Because the expense involved in supercharging an electric vehicle is “unquestionably material” to car buyers, according to Cohen, Tesla decided to promote three years of free limitless supercharging for Model S & Model X buyers.
The ‘3 Years of Free Supercharging’ and cost-saving features were extensively highlighted because of, the Tesla class action claims.
According to Cohen, Tesla committed fraud, unjust enrichment, careless misrepresentation, and violations of California’s unfair competition law, Consumers Legal Remedies Act, and false advertising law.
For himself and all members of the class, the plaintiff is asking for a jury trial, declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as an award of compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages.
Three customers claim Tesla drastically exaggerates the range of its electric vehicles in its ads and have launched a separate class action complaint against the firm earlier this month.
