[NY] Trucking company took responsibility for damages, forwarded to insurance. Now what? Just a recap, I had a model Tesla 3 shipped on a truck and the truck ramps failed and cause the Tesla to crash into the ground causing frame damage. The owner of the company just told me he submitted it to insurance and they will contact me. The ballpark estimate I got was $10k. What do I do now if and when they call? Location: New York
Wrongful termination for tesla. Location: Nevada I am not a really political guy so ive been wanting to step out of leadership team for some quite time. Im a really quiet person and just focus on the job and as someone whos in leadership youre supposed to talk to your teammates all the time. However, ive been called by ER before for someone reporting me for that I harassed them for something ive never did. This was back of 2025. I just got a call from an ER team about this lady who was a troublemaker and had a massive amount of HR cases. She got fired 3 months ago but decided to file a ER case against me and my leadership team. I was asked if said anything about calling her "hey beautiful or something like that". I said i dont even talk to most of my team members here. Let alone please look at the camera how I am isolated all the time in my own cubicle space. Got a call from HR saying im terminated regarding for how many evidences they gathered within my team members. But I asked can I file for a case or where is the proof for all of this and HR denied it. I dont mind getting fired for attendance or poor performance or just getting fired because I wasn't fit okay. But getting fired for something I didnt do is just weird to me =/.
Pre-owned car issue/lemon law Location: NJ TLDR: Bought a pre-owned Tesla M3 from Tesla directly — found out 4 months later it had undisclosed accident damage. Tesla offered a repurchase on the car; the amount to be calculated. What are my options? Bought a pre-owned Model 3 from Tesla (NJ) on 2/28/26. Their “Pre-Owned” inspection rated it 93/100. Clean auto report. Same night, noticed the driver’s side headlight was crooked/misaligned terribly, aimed left and down. Timeline of attempts to fix it via Tesla service center: 3/19: Service says fixed. Still broken that evening. 5/1: Service says fixed again. Still broken that evening. 5/8: Walk-in visit — they say they replaced the headlight. Didn’t look new. Still not working properly. 5/19–5/24: They keep the car (loaner provided), sent it to a body shop. Get it back 5/24 — now BOTH headlights droop, aimed so low they don’t even light up the bumper of the car ahead at a stoplight. 6/15: Bring it in again. Service rep pulls in her manager, who tells me the car was in an unreported accident — not on Carfax or any report — and “should never have been sold.” He called it essentially a lemon, said he doesn’t know if it can even be fixed, and that he needs to escalate to Tesla corporate for “another resolution” (possible buyback/trade, since I own it outright, no loans or finance payments). 6/22: Tesla emails me stating, “Tesla has reviewed your request and will offer to repurchase your vehicle. Please provide us with the following documents: A copy of the Title front and back. Photo of your current year vehicle registration receipt showing fee's paid. Upon receipt, we will provide a repurchase calculation for your review. In general, a repurchase would refund the amounts of money paid into the vehicle less any applicable deductions and Tesla will pay off any outstanding loan, if applicable, and the vehicle will be returned to Tesla.” My thoughts - I want what I paid for: a properly inspected, acciden
Driver drove through home and killed my grandma Location: Houston, TX I’m at a loss for what to do and what kind of attorney to look for. This just happened yesterday June 19th and im still in shock. The home has been left irreparable and my grandma passed away on impact. The driver was in a Tesla and said his car was on autopilot when he was driving. As far as I know he was last taken to the hospital. Please guide me for what kind of attorney I’d need in a situation like this. My family and I are still in major shock and my brain is a bit mush. Thank you for the help.
Tokenized Stocks Explained Simply A lot of people hear tokenized stocks and think it just means stocks on crypto rails. Kind of. But the important part is not the word tokenized. The important part is what the token actually represents. A tokenized stock is usually a blockchain based token designed to track or represent a real stock like Apple, Tesla, Nvidia or other public equities. Depending on the structure, it can be backed by the underlying share, issued by a third party, or built as economic exposure to the stock price. That part matters. Because not every tokenized stock gives you the same rights as holding the actual stock through a traditional broker. You need to know: Who issued it. What backs it. Where it can be traded. How redemption works. What happens with dividends. What jurisdiction it is available in. What liquidity looks like outside normal market hours. That is where this gets interesting. Traditional stocks have regular market hours. But markets do not care about your local opening bell. Earnings drop after close. Macro news hits before open. Company announcements happen while half the market is asleep. Crypto traders are already used to markets moving all day. Pre market and after market access gives traders a way to react earlier instead of waiting for the regular session to open. That can be useful. But it also comes with risk. Lower liquidity. Wider spreads. Faster moves. More fakeouts. Less forgiving order books. So the real edge is not just access. It is understanding what you are trading before you touch it. That is why I think tokenized stocks are going to matter. Not because everything should become a casino that never closes. Because real world assets are starting to move into the same environment crypto users already live in. Always online. Always liquid. Always reacting.

[NY] Damage case is to small for lawyers, to big to do it on my own. Help? Hi everyone. Location: New York. I had a Tesla Model X trucked from auction in Albany NY to New Rochelle, NY. It was in good condition except for a few dings and scratches. The trucking company I hired assured me that the car would be handled with care. Upon arrival, the driver failed to set up the ramp properly which collapsed while the driver was taking the car off the truck, causing it to slam against the trailer and get hinged and stuck. It took us 3 hours to get it off, and when it finally got off I took a look at the underside and numerous sections were scraped, dinged and bent. I took all photos and informed the company I would be seeking damages. Here’s the problem, I’ve reached out to 12 lawyers around my area who either tell me they don’t want to take the case because the estimate repair ($16k) is to little to justify their cost, or it’s not within their area of expertise. The Tesla did not have insurance at the time. I’ve emailed the trucking company with my damage estimate and have yet to hear back. What do I do? I’m at my wits end.

What are the specific US Federal laws preventing auto manufacturers from buying car dealerships? I've heard estimates that ~30% of the total sticker price on vehicles sold on cars in the US is added by dealerships. Further, I've heard that dealerships are the biggest customers of auto manufacturers, therefore manufacturers develop cars that are optimized for dealerships' desires and not those of the end consumer [regular people]. Many people point to direct-to-consumer sales as being a pathway to forward to correct this mismatched incentive structure. That point is always quickly followed up by responses that it will never happen because the US auto dealership lobby is too strong and more so that laws already exist to prevent it direct to consumer sales of cars from happening. I know those laws exist at the state level, but I'm curious if there are any laws at the federal level that would prevent auto manufacturers from simply buying out current dealership owners and then operating the dealerships themselves, much like Tesla, for example, does now. If this isn't the correct sub to post this in, if someone could point me in the correct direction to an appropriate sub for finding those laws, I would greatly appreciate it! Location: Michigan
Who’s at fault? Location: Bay area, California Looking for some opinions on fault in a freeway accident. My dad was driving in the middle lane and was in the process of changing into the right lane to take an upcoming exit. He was traveling at about 52 mph and says he was maintaining a safe following distance with the traffic ahead of him. A Camry was traveling to his left and, according to my dad, was moving faster than surrounding traffic. The Camry appeared to get too close to a Tesla in front of it. When the Tesla braked, the Camry swerved right to avoid a collision and entered the lane my dad was moving into. The Camry then came to a complete stop in the lane. My dad says he suddenly found a stopped vehicle directly in front of him while he was already committed to the lane change and did not have enough time or distance to avoid a collision. He braked but ended up rear-ending the Camry. There is dashcam footage, but the camera is mounted on the left side of the vehicle. Because of the camera angle, it may look like my dad’s vehicle is not very far into the lane change. However, parts of the vehicle interior and windshield view may help show that the vehicle was actually much farther into the lane change than it appears from the camera perspective. Based on these facts, how would insurance companies typically view fault? Would this likely be considered entirely my dad’s fault because he rear-ended the Camry, or could the Camry share fault for following the Tesla too closely, making a sudden evasive lane change, and coming to a stop in front of traffic? I’m looking for honest opinions. Video will be attached as a link below https://imgur.com/a/tcAbAeg
