Tesla’s Full Self-Driving fraud lawsuit has first hearing in China
A Beijing court held the first hearing in a class-action lawsuit against Tesla over its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. Ten Chinese owners, who each paid about 56,000 yuan for the FSD package between 2019 and 2021, seek over 3.95 million yuan ($583,000) in damages. They claim Tesla and Elon Musk promised full autonomous driving capabilities that were not delivered, especially since the software only supports HW4.0 hardware, excluding HW3.0 vehicles made from 2019 to 2023. Tesla argues some functions are operational and others under development. The lawsuit follows Tesla’s renaming of the sys
- 10 Chinese owners sue Tesla for 3.95 million yuan

🔎 Why it matters: The class-action lawsuit in China against Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software involves HW3.0 owners and seeks triple damages under local consumer law.
📈 Upside: The hearing sets an important legal precedent for consumer protection in China.
📉 Risk: Tesla could face significant fines and reputational damage if the court rules against FSD.
