Virginia Woman Sues Tesla: “Insane” Mode Claimed as Negligence

She apparently didn’t want the insanity the Tesla dealer was selling.

Central to her claim is the allegation that the Model Y had been left in Insane mode before the test drive. […]

Rather than claiming that the Model Y mechanically malfunctioned, Lawgalet argues that Tesla employees created an unsafe situation by giving her the vehicle without adequate instruction or warning. The lawsuit alleges their handling of the test drive amounted to negligence.

Negligence generally means failing to use the level of care a reasonable person or business would use under similar circumstances. Businesses can face negligence claims when their own actions, or those of their employees, allegedly create a foreseeable risk of injury.

Of course Tesla claims the fault for their insanity is completely on the person exposed to it.
