Has justice finally been served?
This all dates back to 2019 when reports emerged that Tesla owners were experiencing serious driving range drops following a software update. Only the Tesla Model S and Model X were affected, and just those equipped with 85-kWh battery packs. That specific trim was discontinued in 2016 but Tesla still continued with over-the-air updates which makes complete sense. What allegedly happened as a result of one of those updates was a loss of 12 to 30 miles of range.
Affected owners weren't limited to a single country but a group of them banded together to take the matter to court. Electrek reports a Norwegian court has ordered Tesla to pay $16,000 to every affected owner in the country.
