According to CTOnews.com on April 5, Tesla was sued by the Consumer Association (VZBV) for Sentinel mode advertising in Germany. Today, the lawsuit of July 2022 has finally come to an end.

According to CTOnews.com, VZBV accused Tesla of not correctly promoting the function of his Sentinel mode, which can record damage or other incidents near the vehicle.

Sentinel mode is a very useful feature, but it does not warn people around them that they are being filmed, which violates the privacy laws of some countries.

According to Reuters, the case appeared to be over today when VZBV board member Ramona Pop issued a statement about Tesla's sentinel mode and his violation of privacy law: "camera surveillance cannot be carried out without the knowledge of a third party, and consumers cannot use Tesla's sentinel mode without violating the data protection law. If you turn on this mode, you may be fined. However, none of this information is mentioned in the Sentinel ads. Tesla issued a statement to stop the infringement after the hearing in the District Court in Berlin and stopped advertising in this way. This completes the Sentinel mode program. "

VZBV said the use of Sentinel mode in public spaces was "a violation of the data protection law". Tesla will issue a statement to stop infringement and warn consumers that using the Sentinel model may violate data privacy laws.

VZBV also sued Tesla for claiming that driving his car would help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, saying the claims were misleading. However, Tesla was found to be in favor of this part of the case, and VZBV said it would appeal the ruling.
