      Class action lawsuits are gonna be a mother fucker

      Part of the purchase agreement of a Tesla agreeing to binding arbitration. This means no class action suit. You can opt out of this within the first 30 days, but you have to send a letter requesting it.

      How many Tesla owners do you think do that?

        That assumes the court finds that enforceable. Usually they do, but a few times recently, they’ve said it’s not.

          That’s one of the nice things about the law in Quebec. Binding arbitration clauses are illegal.

              *Je does

              “doivent” is third-person plural (they, not I)

              Oh, and I didn’t notice that autocorrect changed my French to English. Should be"dois" or, as you say, “devrais” for the conditional.

          I mean in trumps court of law musk can’t lose.

          If dumpy wins, for sure no class action.

          If dumpy loses, his Supreme Court will still side with the conservative side anyway, so probably still no class action.

        Steam recently removed their arbitration clause, largely because paying for a thousand arbitration cases is worse than dealing with a class action.

          I’ve heard that death by 1,000 arbitrations is a good way to make em regret it. Glad to see it’s true.

        Wow, I never thought I’d find an actual good argument for keeping independent car dealers as middlemen instead of allowing first-party sales, but here we are.

          Can you connect the dots for me? Third party dealers always have idemnity? clauses anyways.

            Presumably anything you’d agree to while buying from an independent dealer would be between you and the dealer, not you and the manufacturer, right? I don’t understand how the manufacturer would be a party to the transaction.

            (It might be that I’m naive about how modern car sales work.)

              I’m pretty clueless too, but to me your assertion doesn’t hold up to the concept of recalls.

              The true answer is probably that we’re both wrong and the answer is that as a consumer: you lose, fuck you. Also fuck your family dog.
