There was a case back in 2018 where Uber's arbitration clause backfired on it, after an attempt at a class action suit failed 12,500 Uber drivers each filed for arbitration independently and Uber was absolutely swamped with arbitration fees. It's unfortunate that it has to come to this sort of thing, but here's hoping that similar troubles come Tesla's way. Maybe eventually these giant corporations will learn if it keeps hurting them.
