What is happening
-----------------

On 12 August 2025 a federal judge in California certified a class action targeting Tesla's marketing of the Full Self-Driving package. Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy LLP represents the class. For the exact class definition (who falls within it and who does not), see the CPM Legal page.

What this means for you
-----------------------

If you live in the US and have purchased FSD, it is worth checking whether you fall within the certified class. US class actions operate on an opt-out basis. The firm collects information from affected owners. Use their intake, not this site.

Arbitration clauses in Tesla purchase agreements
------------------------------------------------

US Tesla purchase agreements typically contain a binding arbitration clause. Depending on when you bought the vehicle and whether you opted out within the 30-day window that Tesla offers at purchase, this clause may affect whether you can participate in the certified class action or must proceed individually through arbitration. Verify this directly with class counsel.

What we do
----------

We include US registrations in our worldwide register. This strengthens international pressure on Tesla and adds weight to press coverage. We do not legally represent you and we are not an alternative to class counsel.
