Tesla sued in China over FSD promises and HW3 hardware limitations
Tesla faces a lawsuit in China filed by 10 owners who claim the company misled customers about Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities in HW3-equipped vehicles sold between 2019 and 2023. Plaintiffs seek over 3.95 million yuan in damages, arguing that advertised features were unavailable or nonfunctional, as newer FSD functions in China are limited to HW4 hardware. Tesla argues some FSD functions are active and others are under development. Tesla currently lacks full regulatory approval for FSD in China, where only a limited version called Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD) is offered.
