Tesla Tells Texas Court It Has No Duty to Warn Owners of Defects

Texas court: “Right you are!” Texas lege: “And now we’ll prove it!” Texans: “Let the freedom flow!”

>Maddi suffered burns and other injuries after, the lawsuit alleges, becoming trapped in the Model Y due to defective door handles. The lawsuit claims the front-passenger door couldn’t be opened from the outside by onlookers due to said defects, that these defects were present when the car was built, and that Tesla didn’t provide adequate warning. Tesla’s defense rests on disputing that last point. Oh? We calling the engineering flaw a defect now? Okay.

Just remember when you buy one of these shitheaps that the company could not give a single flying fuck about warning you about safety issues after they got their money.

Defects can be designed in.

Imagine the folks still buying Teslas now..... "Yes I'm OK burning to death... trapped in pain and panic in a mangled metal wreck...... how much is the car?"

It's not a defect if it's intentional ;)

Soo they are also saying that full self driving could have critical defects in their software, and if it kills you because of it, they are not liable nor responsible for letting you know that its prone to dangerous crashes? Is that a correct inference?

More reasons not to by their cars that have had the same design and tech and defects since 2015 .

I do not feel bad for anyone buying a Tesla now.

Their “full self driving” is designed to turn off at the last second when it detects an oncoming collision so that Tesla can blame the driver, not the car.

Which will be just fine with the texas court, which can be depended on to side with wealth.

And they'll erase the data if they can get to it before you.

"Caveat Emptor". Isn't it in the Constitution? Manufacturers' Bill of Rights?

Seems this is more a scummy texas thing and tesla are just their normal scummy selves “Texas courts have specifically held there is no post-sale duty to warn of, or to recall, an allegedly defective product,”

If you survive they might erase you so they can paint a story of substance use or something.

Automated driving was sold as increasing vehicle safety. However, tesla has one of the lowest safety ratings out of all major brands in America. You are literally safer taking the wheel into your own hands in any other car than one of these

Judge: "Oooh, it was *intentional*? All right, case dismissed!"

Wait. I'm old enough to remember the Chevy Corvair and Ford Pinto incidents. They've stripped the safety rules that were written in blood?

Emperor Musk is pleased with your bootlicking
