A Seoul Central District Court rejected a lawsuit by Tesla owners in South Korea seeking refunds for Full Self-Driving (FSD). According to the source, the ruling was handed down on a Thursday. The owners argued that Tesla failed to deliver the self-driving capabilities they paid for between 2019 and 2022, and cited the renaming of the feature to FSD (Supervised) and the subscriptions. The court concluded that buying FSD did not guarantee a fully autonomous vehicle, but driver-assistance features that would improve over time, with no guaranteed date.…

Seoul court dismissed FSD refund claims for purchases made between 2019 and 2022.
Ruling says FSD did not guarantee driving without human supervision or a fixed date.

🔎 Why it matters: The ruling holds that FSD was sold as software that improves over time, not as a promise of full autonomy by a set date. It strengthens Tesla's defense against similar lawsuits in China, although the judgment applies only to this case in South Korea.

📈 Upside: Tesla gains a favorable court precedent on the scope of its FSD (Supervised) promises.

📉 Risk: Courts in other countries may reach different conclusions based on local laws and Tesla's advertising.
