Tesla avoids suspension by California regulator after corrective marketing changes
California DMV lifted a 30-day sales suspension after Tesla revised marketing to remove 'autopilot' and clarify Full Self-Driving requires driver supervision, regulators said.
- On Feb 17, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Tesla will avoid a 30-day suspension after stopping use of `Autopilot` in state marketing.
- Last year, an administrative law judge found Tesla misled drivers about `Autopilot` and Full Self-Driving, following the California Department of Motor Vehicles' referral.
- As part of broader shifts, Tesla stopped using `Autopilot` in California and now refers to Full Self-Driving as Full Self-Driving to clarify driver supervision is required.
- The reprieve preserves sales in California, Tesla's biggest U.S. market, as the California Department of Motor Vehicles deferred enforcement and allowed time to comply amid a post-tax-credit slump.
- The marketing moves align with Tesla's plan to reposition FSD to boost adoption and to comply with regulators while Musk said the $99 monthly fee will rise later this year.
