Overview

• The Daxing District People’s Court in Beijing has received a case from seven Tesla owners alleging fraud and contract violations tied to the company’s Full Self-Driving marketing.
• Plaintiffs seek full refunds and triple compensation, with local reports indicating potential claims of up to about 256,000 yuan per person depending on when FSD was purchased.
• Tesla has acknowledged that vehicles with the HW3 computer will not support unsupervised autonomous driving, and Elon Musk said retrofits would be offered.
• In China, only HW4-equipped cars received the broader FSD software while many HW3 buyers report limited functions, and the package is sold as “Intelligent Assisted Driving” at 64,000 yuan under MIIT naming rules.
• Reports describe a troubled rollout in China, including instances where drivers accrued fines after software mistakes, as the case adds to mounting legal scrutiny of Tesla’s FSD claims.
