## Court Ruling
A federal appeals court reversed class certification in LoSavio v. Tesla on October 16, 2026.
## Stock Reaction
Tesla stock fell 2.13% to $354.72 after the ruling, tracking a broader tech selloff.
## Why Class Status Matters
Class status pools thousands of small claims into one large liability, cutting Tesla's exposure in this case.
## What the Court Decided
The court found individual questions about what each buyer saw before purchase made class treatment inappropriate.
## Case Details
Buyers claimed Tesla falsely advertised cars sold since October 2016 had full self-driving hardware.
## What Happens Next
Tesla must show self-driving and robotaxi revenue can support its $1.40 trillion valuation before third-quarter results.
## Key takeaway

Tesla won in court, blocking self-driving buyers from suing as a class while its stock fell 2.13% after the ruling.
