SAN FRANCISCO, April 7 (Reuters) - A California Tesla owner on Friday sued the electric carmaker in a prospective class action lawsuit accusing it of violating the privacy of customers. "Tesla needs to be held accountable for these invasions and for misrepresenting its lax privacy practices to him and other Tesla owners," Fitzgerald said. It said Yeh was filing the complaint "against Tesla on behalf of himself, similarly-situated class members, and the general public." Reuters reported that some Tesla employees could see customers "doing laundry and really intimate things. The lawsuit asks the court "to enjoin Tesla from engaging in its wrongful behavior, including violating the privacy of customers and others, and to recover actual and punitive damages."
