Tesla faces legal action over inflated insurance rates

A group of American Tesla vehicle users have filed a lawsuit against the car manufacturer. The complainants are accusing the company of overcharging their insurance premiums, on the grounds of fake collision warnings.

Tesla's insurance rates are calculated based on a safety score. This assigns a score to the driver based on their real-time behavior. The higher the score, the lower the policy price.

Customers have reported that the built-in safety system in Tesla vehicles often issues accident warnings without any apparent danger. These false warnings have a negative impact on the "Safety Score", resulting in higher monthly insurance premiums for policyholders.

The first hearing in this case is scheduled for January 2024.
