Tesla Wins Appeal, Court Vacates FSD Class Action Certification
A U.S. federal appeals court (Ninth Circuit) vacated the certification of three classes in the LoSavio v. Tesla lawsuit, which accuses the company of misleading customers about the hardware required for Full Self-Driving (FSD). According to the October 16 ruling, the advertising claimed vehicles sold from October 2016 onward included that hardware. The court found that the lower court improperly assumed buyers were exposed to that advertising.…
- Ninth Circuit vacated three class certifications; case returns to district court.
- Visiting Tesla's website does not prove the buyer saw the hardware claim.
🔎 Why it matters: The Ninth Circuit ruling in LoSavio v. Tesla challenges the presumption that exposure to the FSD advertising can be assumed for the entire class. The case returns to district court without resolving whether the claim was misleading.
📈 Upside: Tesla avoids, for now, having three certified classes proceed with the FSD hardware lawsuit.
📉 Risk: The lawsuit was not dismissed, and the allegations remain unresolved in district court.
