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.

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.

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.

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.

The number of new Tesla Inc. vehicles registered in California fell once again as the company continued to lose ground in the largest US market for electric vehicles.

Meta, Amazon and Microsoft lead an earnings wave, along with a Fed meeting and Trump tariff deadline. Tesla "robotaxis" are about to hit San Francisco, with a caveat.
