Jurisdictions

For each country, we map what is happening: local class actions, regulators and consumer organisations. That way you know where you stand and where, next to being counted here, you can directly join a local action.

We record US registrations in the worldwide register.

Germany is the largest Tesla market in the EU. No certified class actions around HW3 are known, but consumer proceedings through specialist firms are known. We register German owners in the worldwide register and for EU-level negotiations.

In Austria, the Vienna-based firm fokus Rechtsanwälte is gathering HW3 cases at kein-autonomes-fahren.at for a planned collective action against Tesla. No lawsuit has been filed yet; the firm is actively building the case file. The initial assessment is free and non-binding. Austrian owners can register directly. We record their registration in the worldwide register.
Italy
Cases being gathered
In Italy, the association Class Action Italia is assessing a possible azione di classe against Tesla Italy s.r.l. for owners with Hardware 3 and a purchased FSD package (CLASS IT-2026-1).
