Tesla Inc. is set to face off with the California Department of Motor Vehicles over claims that the company has exaggerated the capabilities of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving technology and misled consumers.

The stakes are high at a five-day hearing in Oakland starting Monday because the regulator is seeking to suspend or revoke Tesla’s dealer license, which permits it to sell vehicles in the most populous state.

    They call it “full self driving” even though it does not and has never done that in 10 years of being sold. That’s not an exaggeration, that’s not “overhype” that’s a lie. It’s fraudulent. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

      You aren’t crazy. Mine couldn’t even make it around the block without several interventions. I’m god damn glad I didn’t buy into the hype and pay for it.

    Go right ahead, can’t wait to see the documents in disco… What? You’re not actually suing? You’re just saying this to get some clickbait articles on the internet in the hopes that public opinion will be swayed enough?

    Prove it. Set up construction barrels in the middle of a road, stand between them, and send a Tesla with no passenger or driver at yourself.
