Tesla faces a regulatory holdup for its proposed robotaxi service in the San Francisco Bay Area, lacking necessary AV permits.

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

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 Texas-based EV manufacturer could be subject to punishment for its advertising practices in the Golden State.

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

McKesson, Chevron, and Tesla are among the biggest companies to leave California in recent years.

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.
