Every contract to supply goods by description is to be treated as including a term that the goods will match the description.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Tesla’s website at the time Butler ordered his Model 3 described FSD as follows:<\/p>\n
\nComing later this year:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Recognise and respond to traffic lights and stop signs.
Automatic driving on city streets.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Since he bought the car directly from Tesla through its website, any description the company used then was part of the contract, Butler explained, adding that this was the basis of his claim. Since Tesla didn’t deliver on the promised FSD capabilities by the end of 2019, this was seen as a very clear breach of contract.<\/p>\n
For example, the “Autosteer on City Streets” feature was added to FSD in \u2026 September 2023.<\/p>\n
“From Tesla’s POV, I am the worst type of litigator to take on. I am not a lawyer, but deal with them quite often in my day job so I know enough to put in a small claims action with confidence,” Butler said.<\/p>\n
“The money wasn’t important to me, I felt they’d conned me and I wanted them to do the right thing and put it right. Moreover, because the money wasn’t important to me I was never going to sign up to a non-advice\/confidentiality clause, I think it’s important that my experience is out there for others to form their own views from.”<\/p>\n
For all the details regarding this case, including documents, check out the forum post on Tesla Motor Club<\/em>. This is clearly an interesting case since it could lead to other Tesla owners filing similar cases against the EV maker in the UK on the basis of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, there are many disgruntled Tesla owners in the U.S. who would also like to take the EV maker to court over failure to deliver on FSD claims, so it will be interesting to watch if the UK case will lead to a spike in litigation in the United States as well.<\/p>\n
