On 11 June 2025, Tesla was hit with legal action in major global markets. In France, a group of disgruntled drivers filed a lawsuit claiming CEO Elon Musk's political affiliations have tarnished the brand. Simultaneously, in Australia, a class action suit was launched over alleged safety issues with the company's Autopilot system, specifically its so-called phantom braking.
Both cases come as Tesla faces mounting pressure over its leadership, brand perception, and the performance of its driver-assist technologies.
