The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has filed a lawsuit seeking to suspend Tesla's sales and manufacturing operations in California for at least 30 days.

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

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."

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

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

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

Tesla's registrations in the West Coast state fell more than 20% in the second quarter compared with the previous year, according to new data.

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.
