The ruling says people already know this when they buy it, so would it actually have any extra impact?

Also service is getting better, but the road ahead of them is quite long

The ruling might say that, but it's a shit ruling that at least one point reverses the burden of proof, so all bets are off, really 🤷

Besides, this case was about Tesla specifically, not EVs generally.

Musk is infamous for overpromising to the point of just making shit up and Teslas have notoriously shoddy build quality resulting from a quality assurance policy of "don't", so it's hardly a surprise that they're at the shop much more than Musk said they would be..
