> seems like regulators might be getting some balls to do the same in the US soon
You must be new here. Kidding aside, the only reason they would do anything would be if Tesla doesn't sufficiently kiss the king's ring, which they did to the tune of $250 million quite recently. More payments will likely be required, but it's a cost of doing "business" these days.
You too, as otherwise you surely would have at least skimmed the article before commenting :)
> As we recently reported, thousands of Tesla owners have now joined a class action lawsuit in Australia[1] over Tesla misleading customers with its self-driving promises.
> It adds to similar ongoing lawsuits in the US[2] and China[3] .
My point was that the regulators aren't doing anything, and it requires a class action suit to do anything. Were regulators doing their job, they'd force Tesla to refund those who got scammed. Instead, a class action settlement MAY be reached and those who got scammed will get their check for $25 or whatever.
I meant that the payments will be... fees... to the executive branch of the US government. Still large, but way less than having to make their customers whole. A protection racket by the president, that's what I'm saying. A protection racket.
