Tesla Class Action re Phantom Braking, Battery, Autopilot Claims

It seems Tesla’s futuristic dreams are colliding with reality, as a class action lawsuit has been filed against Tesla Motors Australia and its parent company, Tesla Inc., in the Federal Court of Australia. The case alleges that Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles—manufactured from 2021 onwards—have some rather troubling issues that could make even the most die-hard Tesla fans raise an eyebrow.

Phantom Braking: A Scary Surprise First on the list of grievances is Tesla Vision, the camera-based system that ditches radar for a fully visual approach to automated driving. However, instead of smoothly assisting drivers, it has been accused of slamming on the brakes at random. The phenomenon, dubbed “phantom braking,” reportedly causes the vehicle to engage automatic emergency braking inappropriately, posing a serious collision risk. Not exactly the kind of surprise you want while cruising down the freeway.

Battery Woes: Where’s the Range? Then there’s the battery. Owners of affected Teslas claim their cars struggle to get anywhere near the advertised maximum range. The issue becomes even more pronounced when the battery level dips below 50%, leaving drivers with serious range anxiety that wasn’t mentioned in Tesla’s glossy marketing materials. If you were hoping to glide effortlessly between charging stations, you might need to rethink your travel plans.

Autopilot: More Hype Than Reality? Tesla has long marketed its vehicles as having hardware capable of fully autonomous or near-autonomous driving, but the lawsuit alleges that this simply isn’t the case. Owners are now questioning whether they’ve been sold an expensive tech experiment rather than a truly self-driving car. With Autopilot under scrutiny worldwide, this case could add another headache to Tesla’s mounting legal troubles.

Who’s Affected? If you purchased or leased a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y in Australia between May 2021 and December 2024, you might be part of the class action. The case will likely explore whether Tesla misled consumers with its marketing claims and if owners are entitled to compensation.

Tesla is no stranger to controversy, but this lawsuit could put a serious dent in its reputation Down Under. For now, affected owners are being urged to register their details—because if the allegations hold up, Tesla may have some serious explaining (and potentially paying) to do.
