Tesla filed a lawsuit on February 13, 2026, against the California Department of Motor Vehicles, challenging a December 2025 ruling that accused the company of misleading consumers through marketing of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features. Despite complying with required changes to avoid a sales license suspension, Tesla argues the decision was factually erroneous, legally flawed, and lacked evidence of consumer harm. The dispute underscores intense scrutiny of Tesla's driver-assistance systems amid its major California operations.
