Tesla served the complaint on June 24, 2024. On June 25, 2024, the Company filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration based on the provisions of the underlying contract governing the relationship between the Company and Tesla, which requires arbitration. The Company believes the claims stated in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.
