Investigators at France’s competition, consumer affairs and anti-fraud directorate general, or DGCCRF, has demanded that Tesla (TSLA) stop “deceptive” claims over the level of autonomy of its cars or face thousands of euros in fines, The Financial Times’ Ian Johnston and Kana Inagaki report. An investigation conducted by the DGCCRF found that Tesla engaged in “deceptive commercial practices” about the ability of its Tesla vehicles to be “fully autonomous,” as well as deceiving customers on the availability of certain options for their cars, the investigators say. Tesla has been ordered to comply with the order within four months or face fines of EUR 50,000 per day for each day that it does not conform.
