Tesla Owner and Arbitration Attorney Details Legal Strategy Behind Full Self-Driving Refund

09 Jul 2025 | Abstracted from DobinLaw

"In June 2021, my wife and I purchased our third Tesla - a 2021 Model Y....The promise of a car that could drive my wife around gave us hope that she'd maintain independence as her motor skills declined. We paid an extra $10,000 for FSD....shortly after delivery, it became obvious we paid ten grand for features Tesla would not or could not deliver...this was a material breach of contract.

"After 60 days passed with no response, we filed a demand with the American Arbitration Association... as Tesla's agreement required."
