(Reuters) - Tesla owners who accused it of falsely advertising estimated driving ranges for its electric vehicles must pursue their claims in individual arbitrations rather than banding together in proposed class action lawsuits, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California said on Thursday the drivers had agreed to an arbitration provision for resolving disputes with the automaker when they bought their vehicles.
