I mean, the guy is not wrong. Class actions lawsuits have notoriously low payout while law firms pocket millions.
However, it's a tool to hold companies somewhat accountable.
The guy should join a class action lawsuit so that Tesla stop their fuckery, but it is understandable that he doesn't want to spend time on that considering the shitty payout.
Another side is that you're also bound to their agreement. If the law firm was too soft on them, tough luck.
In an ideal world, we'd have government agencies prosecuting illegal stuff (and putting huge fines back into the economy) instead of hoping that private law firms will do a class action, but oh well.
