Le autorità antifrode francesi ordinano a Tesla di fermare “pratiche commerciali ingannevoli”

**An investigation found “deceptive commercial practices regarding the fully autonomous driving capabilities of Tesla vehicles.” Tesla was given four months to comply with regulations.**

French anti-fraud authorities said on Tuesday, June 24, they have ordered US electric car giant Tesla’s local subsidiary to stop “deceptive commercial practices” after an investigation found several violations harmful to consumers and contrary to law. The fraud prevention and consumer protection agency (DGCCRF) said its agents investigated Tesla’s French subsidiary between 2023 and 2024 after reports were filed on a consumer complaint platform.

The probe revealed “deceptive commercial practices regarding the fully autonomous driving capabilities of Tesla vehicles, the availability of certain options and vehicle trade-in offers,” it said. The agency also cited delays in refunding canceled orders, a lack of information on the location of deliveries and incomplete sales contracts, among other violations.

France, if I could send you kissable butterflies I would.

I like bashing the French but honestly on a lot of fronts they’re doing exactly what is needed and have more balls than a lot of other member states.
