Tesla is trying to expand its robotaxi service, which so far is only being tested in Austin, Texas, to additional markets.

This suit has been brewing for some time. The state DMV started investigating Tesla for possible misleading advertising in 2021 and then sent an official inquiry to the automaker roughly a year later.

The largest EV market in the US alleges that the largest EV manufacturer is misleading drivers with its autonomous claims.

Tesla's registrations in the West Coast state fell more than 20% in the second quarter compared with the previous year, according to new data.

Tesla (TSLA) is no stranger to controversy, but the stakes may be higher than ever as the electric vehicle giant becomes entangled in a high-stakes legal showdown with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

The California DMV is suing Tesla over alleged false advertising—and seeking a 30-day suspension of the automaker's sales license.

On an event page for a "Tesla Diner SoCal Protest," the organizer, Tesla Takedown, points to Musk's handling of X, saying it boosts conspiracy theories and extremist views. The page also calls out Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature as "fraud."

The Tesla Supercharger Diner opened Monday in West Hollywood  and Elon Musk is already teasing a Texas expansion.
