¿Qué es el arbitraje?

In arbitration, a claim is heard by a single third party, called an ?arbitrator.? An arbitrator?s decision is typically binding on both parties. In most cases, the decision cannot be appealed. If the arbitrator doesn?t decide the case in your favor, you have no further options. Supporters of arbitration claim that arbitration allows disputes to be resolved more quickly and at less expense than courtroom trials. Yet this efficiency can come at a steep cost for vehicle owners.

Why Tesla Owners Should Consider Opting Out of Arbitration

Despite its seemingly low rate of lemon lawsuits in California, Tesla has faced reports of several major mechanical defects with various Tesla vehicles. Traditionally, vehicle owners who face issues like these file a lemon law claim or work with an experienced lemon law attorney to settle their case with the automaker. Tesla?s arbitration clause, however, requires a vehicle owner to bring their claim to arbitration instead.

When Arbitration is the Wrong Choice for Your CA Lemon Law Claim

Arbitration can put a vehicle owner at a disadvantage in a lemon law claim. Reasons arbitration may be a poor fit for your claim include the following: arbitrators are not always neutral, you may not be able to bring a claim even if you discover dangerous, illegal, or life-threatening issues, arbitration agreements are typically private, failing to opt out means you give up your Constitutional rights to a jury trial, and you may receive less from arbitration than you're entitled to receive under California lemon law.

How to Opt-Out of Arbitration When You Buy a Tesla

Tesla?s purchase agreement contains instructions about how to opt out of arbitration. This portion of the purchase agreement reads: You may opt-out of arbitration within 30 days after signing this Agreement by sending a letter to: Tesla, Inc.; P.O. Box 15430; Fremont, CA 94539-7970, stating your name, Vehicle Identification Number, and intent to opt-out of the arbitration provision. If you do not opt-out, this agreement to arbitrate overrides any different arbitration agreement between us, including any arbitration agreement in a lease or finance contract.
