In a major legal victory for Tesla, a US judge has dismissed an antitrust lawsuit that accused the electric car company of monopolizing the markets for vehicle maintenance and spare parts.
The lawsuit, filed by a group of Tesla customers, alleged that the company forced customers to pay high prices and suffer long waits for repairs by requiring them to use Tesla’s own service centers and parts. However, U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco ruled that the customers failed to show that the alleged problems were not generally known when they purchased their vehicles or that they could not have predicted the costs of keeping their vehicles running .
The judge also dismissed claims under California consumer protection laws, saying customers can choose to amend their complaint. This ruling represents a significant setback for the plaintiffs in the case, and it remains to be seen whether they can successfully amend their complaint and continue the lawsuit.
For Tesla, this decision is a major victory and could have major implications for the company’s future. It suggests that the company’s business model, which includes selling vehicles directly to consumers and requiring them to use Tesla’s own service centers and parts, does not violate antitrust laws.
