- aw1621107 5y agoPerhaps "complete" is a better adjective; I just wanted to mention that Tesla is not the only defendant, though as you point out Tesla's involvement here is the novel bit. Honestly not sure what the correct course is here. Including the restaurant owner better represents the whole picture, but isn't as focused.
- phrz 5y agoNote how much ink is used to target Tesla as opposed to Pappa's. The real reason that Pappa's is being sued under the Dram Shop Act is to destroy complete diversity, so as to avoid removal to federal court. If they only sued Tesla, they might get taken to a less sympathetic federal court. By including a Texas defendant, Tesla can't take them out of a state court that may very well be far more sympathetic to local police, or simply more plaintiff-friendly in cases sounding in negligence or products liability.
