As recently as this year, South Korean regulators reportedly fined Tesla about $2.1 million for falsely advertising its cars’ driving ranges on its local website between August 2019 and December 2022, with the Korea Fair Trade Commission finding that Tesla failed to disclose to customers that the vehicles’ range could be cut by over 50 percent in cold weather. Tesla was required to publicly admit that it had misled consumers, and CEO Elon Musk and two local executives acknowledged “false/exaggerated advertising” in a June 19 statement, the article says.
