A U.S. judge has ruled that Tesla vehicle owners can pursue a proposed class action lawsuit accusing Elon Musk's electric car company of monopolizing markets for repairs and parts. The judge found evidence of a repairs monopoly in Tesla's refusal to open enough authorized service centers, and evidence of a parts monopoly in restricting original equipment manufacturers from selling to anyone other than Tesla. Tesla and its lawyers argued that the complaint was based on an illogical theory, while the plaintiff owners expressed satisfaction with the court's decision and looked forward to the next phase of the case, which combines five lawsuits by vehicle owners who have paid for Tesla repairs and parts since March 2019.
