South Korea FSD Investigation

Tesla, Inc. · 2026-11-04 · Importance 46 · Surprise 42

A South Korean consumer advocacy group plans to file a complaint alleging Tesla misled customers by marketing Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in South Korea. The group says the software can legally be used on only about 20% of Teslas in the country, primarily U.S.-manufactured vehicles, while most locally sold vehicles are made in China and lack the necessary certification. The Korea Fair Trade Commission is already investigating Tesla’s FSD advertising; the reporting gives no potential fine or financial estimate.
