A South Korean court dismisses a lawsuit brought by dozens of Tesla owners seeking refunds for Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver-assistance features, after rejecting arguments that Tesla breached its contract.
According to reporting from South China Morning Post and Channel NewsAsia, the Seoul Central District Court rules that the FSD package does not promise fully autonomous driving without human intervention, and that Tesla has already provided some of the functions covered by the option. The court rejects claims for full refunds. Seeking Alpha instead frames the outcome as Tesla “winning” a legal dispute over delayed FSD features in South Korea, emphasizing the company’s favorable result.
Across outlets, the shared core is that the plaintiffs’ refund case fails and the court’s reasoning centers on what FSD promises contractually and whether promised functions were delivered in part. Differences mainly relate to emphasis—either spotlighting Tesla’s contractual compliance and case outcome, or focusing on owners’ defeat and the limits of FSD expectations.
