The settlement in the Gardena case is only with the automaker. There is still a trial that is set to continue against the Model S’s driver and some other defendants, according to Reuters.
Neither settlement disclosed how much money would be handed over. They simply said that the dismissal of the lawsuits was conditioned on the “satisfactory completion of specified terms.”
Of course, these lawsuits are just a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer number of them that Tesla is currently up against. Earlier this week, we told you about a lawsuit that alleged Tesla preferred visa holders over American workers to keep wages low. We’ve also told you about a lawsuit claiming Tesla could be overstating mileage by as much as 117% and another one in France having to do with “deceptive marketing practices.”
None of those are Tesla’s lawsuit bread and butter, though. No sir. Those really start piling up when you look at lawsuits related to the automaker’s ADAS software. In June,thousands of Australians sed Teslas over a phantom braking problem. Its robotaxi software was probed by the feds just one day after it was launched, and it faced a 30-day stop-sale in California earlier this Summer.
