Tesla ordered to pay $162,000 for Model X fire after failed ‘vandalism’ defense
A Quebec judge ordered Tesla Canada to repay C$161,700 for a Model X fire, rejecting its claim that fires are generally caused by misuse or vandalism.
Summary
Tesla told a Quebec court that car fires are “generally” caused by misuse or vandalism. The judge didn’t buy it, and Tesla Canada now has to cover the C$161,700 an insurer paid out for a Model X that burned in Montreal. An expert report traced the fire to an electrical failure in the dashboard of the 2020 Model X, which was still under Tesla’s warranty. Tesla offered no data to support its theory, and the court called it out for that.
