Tesla Ordered To Refund Model 3 Buyer After German Court Hears It Steers “Like A Drunken Novice Driver” | Carscoops carscoops
that includes features like Smart Summon for automatically extracting your car from a garage, Autopark, Auto Lane Change and Navigate on Autopilot. That costs €3,800 according to Tesla’s German retail site, but it appears that the German owner specified the Full Self-Driving Capability Package that comes in at almost twice the price. Tesla says FSD will add Autosteer on city streets at a later date, but already includes traffic light and stop sign control.
This isn’t the first time Tesla’s autonomous tech has come under fire in Germany. In the summer of 2020 a court in Munich concluded by promising its customers that its Autopilot feature was more capable than it actually was, leading an exasperated Elon Musk to tweet “What about Autobahn?”the Model 3’s software
or hardware, and claimed that all systems and features worked as intended and in accordance with Germany’s current regulations on autonomous driving. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy the owner, or the court, which ordered Tesla to refund the purchase price of almost $80,000. It said that the company had acted negligently by “selling a software whose function could not be used without at least retrofitting.” That might not be the end of the story though, as Tesla has already launched an appeal.
