When you sign the purchasing agreement or preorder agreement, we are given 30 days to opt out of the dispute resolution process which includes not having to go through arbitration or waiving class action. How many people do this considering every now and then there is a post on this forum where someone will get a whacked out Rivian vehicle.

Tesla is being sued in a class action lawsuit for their FSD/Autopilot not being what Elon says it could do. Tesla was also sued in the past for trying to resell their lemon cars but that was forced into arbitration and dismissed.

Do people even pay attention to this?

I did not pay that close of attention, is this option even available in every state? But I can't see any downside of opting out.

Yes it's available in every state. The downside is that if you sue, no one else with the same problem can join your lawsuit and when it is resolved in arbitration, no one will know the outcome unless it's dismissed. This also holds true in that you won't know other people's lawsuit outsome. Plus fighting a corporation in court by yourself is not that easy

I paid attention and made a conscious decision not to care. The chance of me being affected by a forced arbitration agreement or class action waiver are incredibly small.

Anyone who opted out, did you get an email back or any notification?

You need a third option, I paid attention but purposely decided not to opt out.
