As someone with a tesla and with a parent who bought the fsd beta package, I’d be very interested if there’s some kind of payout for consumers/customers!
There was this thread[0] around here about one buyer of FSD who took Tesla to small claims court and Tesla settled with them. Looks like it's easy enough to do.
It's just that Tesla demands gag clauses in the settlement which may be accepted by many people and we might never know how many settlements are out there. Thankfully the author in this instance knew they were going to win and there would be no gag clauses then. So why accept them in the settlement? Tesla caved, because they knew this too.
I don't know if there are still a lot of Tesla shorts, but I wonder if they could offer to fund one of these settlements and then pay for any fines for the person to then breach the gag order. Maybe there are not enough FSD customers for this to have a material impact in terms of dollars but I'd have to think it would impact reputation.
