@AA5B@lemmy.world said it but replied to me instead of to you.

A "lemon" law says that if someone sells you a "lemon" (a vehicle that's prone to failure or needs a lot of repairwork), they have to either repair it or take it back. But it still requires the customer to initiate legal action (or at least, threaten legal action). Once the lawyers get involved, the dealerships or whatever back down... because lemon laws are usually clear and easy to prosecute over.

But it still requires that initial effort. If these people just... sit back and take the abuse from Tesla, nothing will happen.
