Tech Crunch - The first Tesla ‘range inflation’ lawsuit has been filed

Several Tesla owners have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. automaker over allegations of consumer fraud a week after a Reuters investigation found the company had exaggerated the range estimates of its EVs for years.

The proposed class action lawsuit, Porter et al v. Tesla, Inc., was filed August 2 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Law firm Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman is representing the Tesla owners in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges Tesla violated state consumer fraud statutes when it falsely advertised the range of its electric vehicles. Lawyers representing the owners said that Tesla “grossly overvalued” the range — which is the estimated distance a vehicle can travel on a single battery charge — when selling the vehicles to consumers.
