text: class actions and other consumer claims that allege, among other things, purported defects and misrepresentations related to our 
  products and services. For example, on September 14, 2022, a proposed class action was filed against Tesla, Inc. and related 
  entities in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging various claims about the Company’s driver 
  assistance technology systems under state and federal law. This case was later consolidated with several other proposed class 
  actions, and a Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on October 28, 2022, which seeks damages and other relief on 
  behalf of all persons who purchased or leased from Tesla between January 1, 2016, to the present. On October 5, 2022, a 
  proposed class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York asserting similar state 
  and federal law claims against the same defendants. On September 30, 2023, the Court dismissed this action with leave to 
  amend the complaint. On November 20, 2023, the plaintiff moved to amend the complaint, which Tesla opposed. On August 8, 
  2024, the Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint and entered judgment for Tesla. On 
  September 5, 2024, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On March 22, 
  2023, the plaintiffs in the Northern District of California consolidated action filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to order 
  Tesla to (1) cease using the term “Full Self-Driving Capability” (FSD Capability), (2) cease the sale and activation of FSD 
  Capability and deactivate FSD Capability on Tesla vehicles, and (3) provide certain notices to consumers about proposed court- 
  findings about the accuracy of the use of the terms Autopilot and FSD Capability. Tesla opposed the motion. On September 30, 
  2023, the Court denied the request for a preliminary injunction, compelled four of five plaintiffs to arbitration, and dismissed 
  the claims of the fifth plaintiff with leave to amend the complaint. On October 31, 2023, the remaining plaintiff in the Northern 
  District of California action filed an amended complaint, which Tesla moved to dismiss, and on May 15, 2024, the Court 
  granted in part and denied in part Tesla’s motion. On October 2, 2023, a similar proposed class action was filed in San Diego 
  County Superior Court in California. Tesla subsequently removed the San Diego County case to federal court and on January 8, 
  2024, the federal court granted Tesla’s motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of 
  California. Tesla moved to compel arbitration, which the plaintiff did not oppose, and on June 27, 2024, the Court stayed the 
  case pending arbitration.
