It’s amazing how bullshit stats delivered by Tesla are gospel, but when Monsanto or an oil company cook up self serving nonsense, we’re collectively outraged.

There’s no litigated suit yet, but there are plenty of settlements, including the class action referenced. I’m sure Tesla has a noxious arbitration clause that makes litigation difficult.

Personally, money is a truth maker in these scenarios, and the folks stuck holding the financial bag for Tesla are insurance companies, who are raising Tesla rates for a variety of reasons that are creating losses for them. As this feature is in broader use and Tesla continues to succeed in making their computer’s failures a driver responsibility, those rates will go up more.

It does[1]. You can opt-out, but only in the first 30 days after making the order, so if you haven't, you're locked into it when the problem arises.
