Tesla owners around the world are taking the company to court, accusing the electric car company of unmet promises.
During the company's 2026 Quarter 1 earnings call, many car owners' dreams to sit behind the wheel and let the car drive itself were shattered.
"I wish it were otherwise, but Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD," Elon Musk, the co-founder and CEO of Tesla, explained in a response. "We did think at one point it would have that."
FSD stands for full self-drive, a capability Tesla sold to car owners for years with the promise that one day, their car would be able to drive itself.
Benjamin Liu, a Tesla owner in New Zealand who had bought the capability in 2020, is taking his own action.
