Tesla owner won $10k in court for Tesla's FSD lies. Tesla is still fighting him
Ben Gawiser won a $10,600 judgment in small claims court against Tesla for failing to deliver Full Self-Driving capabilities as promised when he purchased the software in 2021. Despite the ruling, Tesla is reportedly delaying payment through legal tactics. Gawiser argued that the FSD software remains at Level 2 autonomy, far short of the Level 5 system he claims he was sold.
