A Quebec court reportedly rejected Tesla’s request to set aside an earlier default judgment involving a 2020 Model X that caught fire in 2023. Compensation to the insurer is about C$161,700. The court upheld the earlier finding concerning a possible premature electrical failure and warranty liability, finding insufficient evidence for Tesla’s vandalism claim. An appeal remained possible at the time of reporting. The case does not establish that the battery ignited or that every Model X shares a common defect.
