Thousands of Tesla owners in Australia have joined a class action lawsuit over false claims about the 'Full Self-Driving' (FSD) package.
Tesla faces legal pressure globally due to Autopilot and FSD features, including lost trials and settlements.
Elon Musk admitted that Tesla's Hardware 3 (HW3) cannot achieve unsupervised self-driving, contradicting earlier claims.
Tesla's 2016 claim that all vehicles had hardware for full self-driving is under scrutiny.
No significant updates or retrofits have been provided for HW3 owners, leading to lawsuits in the US, China, and Australia.
The Australian lawsuit seeks compensation for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners who purchased or leased vehicles between May 2021 and February 2025.
Legal experts view the case as straightforward, citing Tesla's unfulfilled promises affecting vehicle value and consumer trust.
