BREAKING: Tesla found partially liable in Autopilot case, jury orders $200 million in damages www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Partially? They designed the p.o.s
Just saw some other headlines that say $329 million.
"In the [Tesla] showroom, it's the greatest car ever made," [attorney Brett] Schreiber said. "In the courtroom, they say it's a jalopy." “Tesla knew for years that its product was defective,” he added. “Despite that people were using autopilot irresponsibly. This was a case of systematic failure”
This is a monumental tipping point in the decade-long story of Tesla Autopilot. Despite designing and marketing its system to appear as self-driving as possible, Tesla has always been able to blame its customers for misuse of the system. If this ruling holds up on appeal, that era is over now.
As @lorak.bsky.social's paywall-free reporting shows, that $200 million is just for punitive damages, and the jury awarded another $129m in compensatory damages. Hard to overstate what long overdue justice this is, for an ongoing scam that has killed tens of Americans www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/t...
May this be the snowball that starts the roll at the top of the mountain 🙏
$329 mIllion??
$TSLAQ
Think this raises chances of CA sales ban or not really?
Probably not, the ALJ can only rule on evidence from the hearing... but if she rules as I think she will, that will be another big brick in the wall. The perception is crumbling faster and faster now.
Wait is this a different case than the one you were live skeeting (thank you btw)? I thought that one was *not* a jury trial and set to resume in a few months?
I believe the skeet case was California taking issue with "full self driving" as false advertising
Here's hoping!🤞
I so hope the “engineer genius” era is over.
Especially given that Elon is neither

YAY!

Hey @aarongreenspan.com Does this ruling help any of the other similar FSD accident cases get to trial quicker (thinking of the woman in AZ who got run over by a Tesla on FSD) or will the usual Tesla delay tactics still work?

It literally couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
Over 100 Americans die in traffic accidents in the US every day. Autonomous vehicles are proving to be so much, (about 10x) safer than humans. Supporting computer drivers is a moral issue, not a political one.
we just need another 100 or so of these judgements to come down
If the Tesla owners and shareholders would have balls, there would have been a class action 5yrs ago when Robotaxis didn‘t materialize a year after autonomy day.

Has his whaleness commented on it?
Hey finally some good news
Come back at us when the fines are enough to end Tesla forever: because that's exactly what their shit software did to those people.
crikey 😳
Epic win for Tesla. It proves that Autopilot is so good that the scam isn‘t obvious for an average driver anymore.

Under Florida law, Tesla is on the hook for its percentage of fault, which stories indicate is 32%. So a little under $110 million.

I just read Missy Cumings was invited to testify. This, this is justice of the biblical kind.
charlesjohnson.substack.com/p/was-this-t... A three-step plan to bring Musk + Netanyahu to justice for years of illegal behavior in America. *NHTSA is finally going after Musk for his years of fraud and killing people.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
That's a good start
