Overview

• New court notices show Tesla and plaintiffs moved to finalize confidential settlements in the Alameda County wrongful‑death suit and in a separate December 2019 Gardena crash case.
• In Alameda County, 15-year-old Jovani Maldonado died after a pickup was rear-ended by a Model 3 with Autopilot engaged, and the settlement notice was filed on Tuesday.
• In Gardena, two people were killed when a Model S allegedly ran a red light at high speed, and the agreement resolves only Tesla’s liability.
• The Gardena trial continues against the Model S driver and other defendants, according to a notice cited in court records.
• Neither settlement disclosed financial terms, and Tesla is seeking to overturn or retry the recent Florida case while pursuing an appeal of the $243 million jury award.
