A nationwide class action has been filed against Tesla on behalf of 500,000 vehicle owners who paid $8,000-$15,000 for "Full Self-Driving" capability that plaintiffs allege has never delivered truly autonomous operation.
Lawsuit Claims
- 500,000 class members
- FSD price: $8,000-$15,000 over model years
- Damages sought: full refund + punitive damages
- Filed in California Northern District Court
The suit argues Tesla's marketing of "Full Self-Driving" is fundamentally deceptive because the software still requires constant driver supervision and is classified as Level 2 automation — not Level 4 or 5 as the name implies.
