CTOnews.com, March 15 (Xinhua) Tesla was sued by consumers in the United States, claiming that the company monopolized the maintenance, repair and parts market, and consumers had to pay high prices and endure long waiting times to repair their cars, Bloomberg reported.

The antitrust class action lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Francisco on Tuesday, represents Virginia M. Lambrix of Virginia, who lives in Sonoma County and owns a Tesla Model S. she said owners of traditional internal combustion engine cars have a variety of options to repair their cars, or even do it themselves, using parts made by the original factory or other companies.

Tesla's car owners have only one choice: they can only use Tesla's parts to repair their cars in the company or its approved service center. The complaint cites the federal antitrust law, according to Lambrix. This is because Tesla uses its market forces to restrict repair and maintenance services.

As a result of these practices, Tesla owners "suffered long waiting times in repairing or maintaining their electric cars and had to pay super competitive prices (supracompetitive prices)", according to the complaint.

As of CTOnews.com, Tesla did not respond to this.
