`
`Plaintiffs Alejandro Corona and Cabanillas & Associates, P.C (“Plaintiffs”), by
`
`and through their attorneys of record, bring this Complaint seeking public injunctive
`
`relief against Tesla, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Tesla”). Plaintiffs hereby allege, on
`
`information and belief, except for information based on personal knowledge, which
`
`allegations are likely to have evidentiary support after further investigation and
`
`discovery, as follows:
`
`NATURE OF THE ACTION
`
`1.
`
`This is an action seeking public injunctive relief arising from Tesla’s
`
`unlawful, unfair and deceptive business practice of misrepresenting to consumers the
`
`mileage driving range of its electric vehicles in violation of California’s Unfair
`
`Competition Law (“UCL”) and New York’s General Business Law (“GBL”).
`
`2.
`
`On approximately July 27, 2023, public sources reported that Tesla has
`
`engaged in a practice of inflating projections on its vehicle dashboards for the driving
`
`range of its electric vehicles. Tesla dashboard range meters indicate to drivers that its
`
`vehicles will travel 350 to 400 – or more – miles on a full electric charge. However, as
`
`the battery is depleted, the dashboard range meters mileage projections drop at a rate
`
`faster than miles are actually driven, resulting in an overall mileage range significantly
`
`less than originally projected on the dashboard. Additionally, the public source reports
`
`included allegations that Tesla had orchestrated a practice to quash nationwide consumer
`
`complaints from this defect and service appointment requests related to this mileage
`
`range issue by creating an internal “Diversion Team” whose purpose was to unilaterally
`
`cancel the service appointments of customers complaining about the rate at which their
`
`car’s driving range was being depeleted.
`
`3.
`
`The inflated mileage projections resulted in consumers, including Plaintiffs,
`
`purchasing Tesla vehicles expecting a longer mileage driving range between charges than
`
`their vehicles provided. Plaintiffs continued to receive false and misleading projections
`
`from their Tesla vehicles dashboard range meters while using their Tesla vehicles.

`
`Tesla’s practice violates the UCL and GBL.
`
`4.
`
`Pursuant to the UCL and GBL, Plaintiffs seek a public injunction
`
`compelling Defendant to fix the mileage readings displayed by Tesla’s dashboard range
`
`meters from Tesla’s software, hardware and/or firmware, as necessary and appropriate, so
`
`that the readings reflect the actual available mileage in its electric vehicles, rather than
`
`intentionally overestimated projections.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`5.
`
`Jurisdiction in this case is based on 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332. Plaintiffs and
`
`Defendant are citizens of different states and the amount in controversy exceeds
`
`$75,000, exclusive of interests and costs.
`
`6.
`
`The Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine this suit because Defendant
`
`Tesla, Inc., conducts substantial business within the San Franciso Bay area, including in
`
`Palo Alto, California where it has its Engineering Headquarters. Tesla, Inc., is a
`
`Delaware corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas.
`
`7.
`
`Venue is proper in this District because Tesla conducts substantial business
`
`within the San Franciso Bay area.
`
`PARTIES

`
`that Tesla, Inc. and at all relevant times was, a Delaware corporation authorized to do
`
`business in California.
`
`11. At all relevant times, Tesla was doing business in numerous counties
`
`throughout California. Tesla is a car manufacturer and dealer operating numerous offices
`
`and facilities throughout California, including within the San Franciso Bay area.
`
`FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
`
`12. The mileage range Tesla has represented to its consumers and designed its
`
`software to reflect on the dashboard for its vehicles, intentionally does not match reality.
`
`Tesla advertised mileage projections of 350 to 400 miles – or more – on a fully charged
`
`battery, and programmed its software to display mileage readings on its vehicles’
`
`dashboard range meters that reflected the advertised projections. However, as Plaintiffs
`
`and similarly situated consumers drove the vehicles and thereby discharged the battery,
`
`the projected mileage range would diverge from the projections, and drop, often
`
`significantly, resulting in an actual mileage range which was much less than Tesla’s
`
`dashboard projections.
`
`13. Plaintiffs and similarly situated consumers did not receive the advertised
`
`mileage projections or the dashboard full battery projected mileage range, and instead
`
`purchased vehicles with a lesser mileage range than advertised and projected in their
`
`vehicles. This negatively impacted Plaintiffs’ and similarly situated consumers’ ability to
`
`reliably drive their vehicles between charges. There is some degree of variance in all
`
`electric vehicles battery performance, due to numerous factors. Nonetheless, Tesla’s
`
`mileage projections do not account for all relevant facts. Instead, Tesla has intentionally
`
`programmed its software to provide overly optimistic mileage range projections.
`
`14. As reported by Reuters on July 27, 2023, Tesla created an internal
`
`“Diversion Team” to address Tesla’s large number of consumer complaints concerning
`
`their vehicles failure to achieve advertised or dashboard meter projected driving range.
`
`Tesla employees were instructed to blame the shortfalls in projected mileage on the

`
`consumers themselves for their driving habits and to unilaterally cancel scheduled service
`
`appointments related to this mileage driving range issue.
`
`15. These unlawful, unfair and deceptive practices occurred systematically and
`
`were done with the full knowledge and consent of Defendant.
`
`16. Upon information and belief, the above–mentioned unlawful, unfair and/or
`
`fraudulent practices by Defendant with respect its fraudulent mileage projections were
`
`imposed on all consumers who purchased Tesla vehicles from Tesla dealerships in
`
`California and/or New York and continues to the present day.
`
`17. Defendant’s conduct, as alleged here, caused Plaintiffs, and other Tesla
`
`consumers public harm because they were unable to use their vehicles safely and reliably
`
`to the projected driving ranges. A vehicle’s driving range is a significant factor in the
`
`consumer’s purchasing decision, and vehicle charging capacity must be reliable,
`
`particularly when taking longer trips and planning distance between charging stations.
`
`Plaintiffs and other consumers are unable to reliably predict the amount of time required
`
`to complete a trip due to more charging being required to reach their destinations.
`
`Plaintiffs and similarly situated consumers were – and continue to be – harmed by Tesla’s
`
`failure to accurately advertise and display the mileage range projections.
`
`18. Plaintiffs bring this suit on behalf of themselves and the general public who
`
`have purchased a Tesla vehicle during the relevant time period. Plaintiffs bring this action
`
`for public injunctive relief and do not assert a class action. See McGill v. Citibank, N.A.

`
`Code §17201.
`
`21.
`
`§ 17200 of the California Business and Professions Code (the “UCL”)
`
`prohibits any unlawful, unfair and/or fraudulent business practices.
`
`22. Through the actions alleged herein, Defendant has engaged in unlawful,
`
`unfair and/or fraudulent conduct within the meaning of the UCL.
`
`23. Defendant has engaged in unlawful practices by failing to provide accurate
`
`advertised and dashboard projections for the mileage its consumers would receive on
`
`their Tesla vehicles. Under California law, Telsla gives an implied warranty that its
`
`vehicles are fit to be used as represented by its onboard performance instruments,
`
`including its in-dash range meters, and this warranty has been breached by Tesla through
`
`the above-described conduct and omissions. Such conduct is also both deceptive and
`
`unfair.
`
`24. Additionally, as reported, Defendant has worked to quash and divert
`
`consumer complaints and service appointment requests for this mileage driving range
`
`issue so as to cover up and conceal its conduct.
`
`25. An unlawful business activity includes “anything that can properly be called
`
`a business practice and that at the same time is forbidden by law.” Barquis v. Merchants
`
`Collection Ass’n, 7 Cal. 3d 94, 113 (1972). To meet the “unlawful” prong, the person
`
`suing under Section 172000 “borrows” violations of other laws and treats them as
`
`unlawful practices independently actionable under the UCL. Saunders v. Superior Court,
`
`27 Cal. App. 4th 832, 839 (1994). “Virtually any statute or regulation (federal or state)
`
`can serve as a predicate for a UCL unlawful practice cause of action.” Guitierrez v.
`
`Carmax Auto Superstores Cal., 19 Cal. App. 5th 1234, 1265 (2018).
`
`26. Through its action alleged herein, Defendant has engaged in unfair
`
`competition within the meaning of the UCL. Defendant’s conduct, as alleged herein,
`
`constitutes unlawful, unfair, and/or fraudulent business practices under the UCL.
`
`27. Tesla’s conduct
`
`is
`
`in addition
`
`immoral, unethical, oppressive, and

`
`unscrupulous, and thereby constitutes unfair and unlawful business practices in violation
`
`of California Business and Professions Code § 17200 et seq.
`
`28. Plaintiff and similarly situated members of the general public seek to
`
`prohibit Tesla from engaging in any of the above described unfair, unlawful and/or
`
`fraudulent business practices in the future.
`
`29. Plaintiff has standing to assert this claim because he has suffered and/or will
`
`suffer an injury in fact in use of his vehicles and has lost and/or will lose money and
`
`value of his vehicles as a result of Defendant’s conduct.
`
`30. Business and Professions Code Section 17203 states, in part: “Any person
`
`who engages, has engaged, or proposes to engage in unfair competition may be enjoined
`
`in any court of competent jurisdiction. The court may make such orders or judgments,
`
`including the appointment of a receiver, as may be necessary to prevent the use or
`
`employment by any person of any practice which constitutes unfair competition, as
`
`defined in this chapter, or as may be necessary to restore to any person in interest any
`
`money or property, real or personal, which may have been acquired by means of such
`
`unfair competition.”
`
`31. Pursuant to Section 17203, Plaintiff Corona seeks a public injunction
`
`prohibiting Defendant from projecting on its in dash range meters intentionally inaccurate
`
`mileage readings for their vehicles and enjoining future violations.
`
`32. Plaintiff and other similarly situated members of the general public have no
`
`plain, speedy, and/or adequate remedy at law to redress the injuries which they have
`
`suffered as a consequence of the unfair, unlawful and/or fraudulent business practices of
`
`Tesla. As a result of the unfair, unlawful and/or fraudulent business practices described
`
`above, Plaintiff and other similarly situated members of the general public have suffered
`
`and will continue to suffer irreparable harm unless Tesla is restrained from continuing to
`
`engage in these unfair and unlawful business practices.

`
`SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
`Violation of New York General Business Law § 349
`(GBL §349, et. seq.)
`(New York Plaintiff Cabanillas & Associates, P.C. Against Defendant)
`32. Plaintiff Cabanillas & Associates, P.C. (“Cabanillas”) repeats and realleges
`
`each preceding paragraph of the Complaint as if fully set forth herein.
`
`33. Plaintiff Cabanillas and others similarly situated are “persons” and members
`
`of the consuming public within the meaning of GBL §349(h).
`
`34. GBL §349(a) states: “Deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any
`
`business, trade or commerce or in the furnishing of any service in this state are hereby
`
`declared unlawful.”
`
`35. Defendant’s acts and practices alleged herein took place within New York
`
`and constitute acts, uses, or employment of deception, fraud, unconscionable and unfair
`
`commercial practices, false pretenses, false promises, misrepresentations, or the knowing
`
`concealment, suppression, or omission of material facts with the intent that others rely
`
`upon such concealment, suppression, or omission, in connection with the sale or
`
`advertisement of merchandise, and with the subsequent performance, of Defendant in
`
`violation of § 349 of New York's General Business Law, making deceptive and unfair
`
`acts and practices illegal.
`
`36. Defendant’s conduct is deceptive because it is likely to mislead consumers
