As many as 100K cars could be part of Australian class action suit launched against Tesla
Australian Tesla owners have launched a class action lawsuit accusing the company of failing to deliver promised self-driving features on vehicles sold before 2024.
- The case alleges that drivers who paid up to A$10,100 for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software cannot access it on Model 3 and Model Y cars fitted with the third-generation (HW3) computer hardware.
A lwyer for the legal firm representing owners said “thousands of Australians” have joined the proceedings, arguing that Tesla’s marketing overstated its vehicles’ capabilities and that many owners paid for upgrades that were never delivered
- said the company’s claims about safety, performance, and automation had not matched reality.
The dispute traces back to 2016, when Tesla said all cars leaving its factories from October that year included the hardware required for Full Self-Driving. However, that capability remains unavailable for many Australian owners nearly a decade later.
Tesla declined to comment on the case.

The lawsuit adds to growing legal and regulatory scrutiny of Tesla’s autonomous-driving claims, potentially denting consumer trust and raising costs for the automaker in one of its key Asia-Pacific markets.
