Tesla found guilty of fraud: the victim will receive large compensation

A driver from China managed to win a lawsuit against Tesla, accusing the company of fraud. This man has filed a lawsuit against the company over the purchase of a used Model S electric vehicle.

A Beijing court ruled that the American electric vehicle maker incorrectly reported the condition of the car that Han Chao bought for $ 58,700. It has been proven that the car has undergone a major overhaul after a serious accident.

The court rejected Teska’s claim that the signs of welding did not indicate “structural changes.” The company now has to reimburse the buyer for the cost of the car and for damages three times the purchase price.

The verdict can be seen as an important milestone in consumer protection from large companies. This incident could increase the confidence of consumers facing a similar situation, and is likely to attract more people.
