Tesla Lemon Law Lawyer
Tesla, a pioneer in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, attracts consumers with its innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and eco-friendly appeal. However, despite Tesla’s reputation for quality, defects do occasionally arise, and dealing with a flawed vehicle can be incredibly frustrating.
The California Lemon Law offers protection to consumers who purchase or lease vehicles that do not meet the promised standards of quality and reliability. If your Tesla has persistent issues that affect its safety, value, or functionality, and the manufacturer or authorized dealer fails to repair the defect after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be eligible for a replacement vehicle or refund.
Criteria That May Indicate Your Tesla Is a Lemon
Not every defect in your Tesla automatically qualifies it as a lemon. In California, certain criteria must be met to pursue a claim under the Lemon Law. Here are some common factors that may indicate your Tesla is a lemon:
- Repetitive Repairs for the Same Issue
If your Tesla has been in the shop multiple times for the same issue without a successful repair, it may qualify as a lemon. For example, recurring issues with the battery, charging system, or autopilot features may affect the car’s usability and safety.
- Extended Time in the Shop
If your car has been out of service for more than 30 cumulative days due to repairs, you may be eligible for a claim. Downtime not only inconveniences you as an owner but also raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability.
- Safety-Related Defects
Defects that compromise the safety of your Tesla—such as faulty brakes, malfunctioning autopilot systems, or battery issues—can significantly affect your vehicle’s value and usability, making it a candidate for Lemon Law relief.
- Substantial Impairment
Any defect that affects the value, safety, or utility of the vehicle in a major way may support a Lemon Law claim. For example, issues with charging, interior electronics, or structural components could qualify.
