Tesla’s Alleged False Promises:

In a recent class action lawsuit, plaintiff Sean Cohen accuses Tesla of falsely advertising three years of complimentary supercharging for Model S and Model X buyers who made their purchases between April and June 2023. Cohen contends that Tesla’s advertising misled customers into believing they would receive free supercharging, prompting them to pay more for their vehicles.

Cohen asserts that Tesla executed an online marketing scheme that prominently featured the promise of unlimited free supercharging during the specified period. The class action alleges that had consumers known this advertising was deceptive, they would have either refrained from purchasing the products or paid considerably less.

Supercharging Cost Significance:

Cohen argues that Tesla, aware of the substantial impact of supercharging costs on electric vehicle buyers’ decisions, emphasized the “3 Years of Free Supercharging” offer. He claims that the cost of supercharging is a crucial factor for car buyers, which is why Tesla prominently showcased this feature.
