Tesla's Australian Dilemma: A Glimpse of a Larger Problem The recent pre trial hearing in the Australian class action lawsuit against Tesla has exposed the contentious relationship between companies accused of wrongdoing and the courts tasked with investigating them.
The case, brought by 10,000 Australian Tesla drivers, alleges phantom braking, exaggerated battery ranges, and misleading claims about self driving capabilities.
Judge Tom Thawley expressed his dismay at Tesla's slow progress in providing documentation, questioning whether the company had taken the discovery process seriously.
