Tesla is under fire in South Korea as an advocacy group plans to file a complaint with the KFTC, alleging the company misled tens of thousands of customers about its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software .
Key points:
- FSD cannot be legally used in most China-manufactured Teslas sold in South Korea, despite customers paying 9.043 million won ($6,726) for the feature .
- Tesla has sold over 170,000 Shanghai-produced vehicles in South Korea since 2023, with FSD certification for these models only recently initiated .
- The KFTC is already probing Tesla's advertising practices .
This could lead to regulatory action and impact Tesla's sales and reputation in the region.
