“In every year since 2016, Tesla and Musk have repeatedly made deceptive and misleading statements to consumers indicating that a fully self-driving, fully autonomous Tesla vehicle was just around the corner,” the lawsuit, viewed by USA TODAY, alleges.

The lawsuit pointed to several statements about Tesla’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems made by Musk online and by the company on its website, including a 2016 video shot from behind the wheel showing a Tesla car completely driving itself to its destination through busy streets and intersections.

“In reality, Tesla employees [who] made the video would later reveal that the car in the video had significant assistance from commercial mapping software not available to Tesla customers, and that the car still performed poorly and even ran into a fence during filming,” the lawsuit says.
