Tesla Cybertruck Lemon Law
Earlier this year, a Cybertruck in Full Self-Driving mode failed to merge out of lane that ended, hit the curb, and crashed into a pole. The incident happened in Reno, Nevada. According to the driver, there were “unknown mechanical issues” that caused the vehicle to leave the lane and crash into the pole. The auto manufacturer has faced criticism about the safety of their driver assistance software for years. Unlike other automakers, Tesla’s technology relies only on cameras. Although it makes the technology cheaper, it is also riskier especially in low visibility conditions.
If your Cybertruck’s self-driving technology has issues, your vehicle may be a lemon. Therefore, you could have the right to pursue a lemon law claim and get certain remedies, including a replacement vehicle or a full refund.

Understanding the Lemon Law
In California, the “lemon law” refers to the Song-Beverly Consumer Protection Act. This law protects consumers who have purchased or financed a defective vehicle. Under the lemon law, affected consumers may be eligible to file claims and request a replacement vehicle or a full refund.
Does My Vehicle Qualify as a Lemon?
For a consumer to be able to file a lemon law claim for a defective vehicle, whether it is a Tesla or any other vehicle, the vehicle must meet the criteria to qualify as a lemon under the lemon law. More specifically, the following conditions must be met:
- The vehicle must have a defect that affects value, safety, or use
- The vehicle must have been subject to a reasonable number of repair attempts (the specific number of required repairs will vary based on the type of defect)
- The vehicle must still be under an active manufacturer warranty
Without a doubt, it can be difficult to figure out whether a vehicle meets the definition of a lemon under the law. If you find yourself unsure of whether your vehicle meets the definition of a lemon and whether you can pursue a claim, contact us today.
Recommended Steps to Follow
If you suspect that your vehicle is a lemon, you should do the following:
- Keep up with all routine maintenance
- Keep records of all repairs made, including diagnostics, quotes, receipts, etc.
- Keep records of the total time that your vehicle has spent in the repair shop
- Seek the expert guidance of a lemon law lawyer
What if a Defective Auto Causes an Injury?
If a defect present in the vehicle ultimately leads to an incident that causes injury, then the affected individuals could also have grounds to file an injury lawsuit. This is a separate claim from lemon law claims. When defective vehicles lead to injuries, affected parties could file both lemon law claims and injury claims. If you pursue an injury claim, you could be entitled to receive compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, punitive damages, and legal fees.
