Yeh V. Tesla, Inc.
The lawsuit Yeh v. Tesla, Inc. alleges that Tesla employees violated the privacy rights of customers by accessing and sharing sensitive images and videos without their consent. The recordings and images were allegedly shared for the entertainment of Tesla employees and possibly others outside the company, causing humiliation to those who were recorded without their knowledge. The plaintiff is seeking to represent a class of all individuals in the United States who owned or leased a Tesla vehicle from four years prior to the filing of the complaint until the time a class is notified. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, including orders to stop recording, viewing, and sharing videos and images in violation of state law, and the destruction of all personal data obtained in violation of state law. Additionally, the lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages for causes of action such as intrusion upon seclusion, violation of California's constitutional right to privacy, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and breach of contract.
