In France, Tesla has been warned by the General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control for misleading marketing of its full self-driving (FSD) capabilities. The agency claims that Tesla overstates the technology's functionality, a situation classified as false advertising. As a Level 2 system, FSD requires driver oversight, making the marketing language deceptive. Additionally, Tesla's sales practices, such as issuing contracts without delivery specifics and not providing receipts for cash transactions, have drawn scrutiny. A compliance order imposes potential fines if Tesla does not address these issues.
