US EditionCalifornia regulator puts Tesla sales suspension order on hold
Tesla must revise its Autopilot marketing within 90 days to avoid a 30-day sales suspension in California, where nearly one-third of its U.S. sales occur, officials said.
- The California Department of Motor Vehicles temporarily stayed the sales suspension with a 90-day stay and will delay releasing Administrative Law Judge Juliet E. Cox's proposal until December 22.
- The California Department of Motor Vehicles said Tesla Inc.’s Full Self-Driving and Autopilot branding was misleading, linking it to overconfidence tied to dozens of crashes and multiple deaths.
- The administrative judge recommended a 30-day sales and production suspension after years-long Oakland administrative court hearings and the November 21 ruling.
- Regulators gave Tesla Inc. a 60-day compliance window to rename Autopilot or face sales suspension, while Tesla shares closed at a record $489.88 on Dec. 16.
- As Tesla pushes robotaxi tests in Austin, Texas, Federal safety investigators recently expanded a probe of Tesla Inc.'s Full Self-Driving software, while the company relies on a camera-only sensor approach.
