Overview
- An administrative law judge found Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving marketing deceptive and proposed 30-day suspensions of sales and manufacturing licenses.
- The DMV accepted the proposed suspensions but put enforcement on hold while it oversees corrective steps.
- Tesla has 90 days to clarify or remove marketing language before any sales license suspension would take effect.
- The manufacturing-license suspension is stayed to prevent production interruptions at Tesla’s California facilities.
- The case stems from a 2022 DMV false‑advertising complaint, as investor enthusiasm for Robotaxi plans lifted Tesla shares to a record despite the regulatory pressure.
