Tesla owner wins $10,600 in court over false FSD promises
Ben Gawiser purchased a Tesla Model 3 in August 2021 with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) package for $10,000, expecting a level 5 autonomous driving system. After years without receiving the promised functionality, with the software still at level 2, he sued Tesla in a Texas small claims court. Tesla did not respond to the lawsuit, resulting in a default judgment awarding Gawiser $10,600. This case highlights the gap between Tesla's FSD promises and the technical reality delivered to customers.
- Gawiser paid $10,000 for FSD in 2021 on a Tesla Model 3.
- FSD remains level 2, not the promised level 5.
- He won $10,600 in court for Tesla's breach.
🔎 Why it matters: Gawiser's case underscores Tesla's failure to deliver the promised level 5 FSD system on the 2021 Model 3 purchase.
📈 Upside: The court ruling confirms Tesla's liability for not delivering the promised FSD functionality.
📉 Risk: Tesla may face additional similar lawsuits for failing to deliver FSD software.
