Tesla was fined in South Korea

Bulletin

3. 1. 2023

Tesla will have to pay a fine in South Korea. It was granted by the local Commission for Economic Competition. The penalty of 2 million euros is due to exaggerating the range of the vehicles. The manufacturer does not state what range the vehicle has at low temperatures, which may mislead the consumer. Tesla does state how to drive as efficiently as possible in winter, but specific numbers are missing.

I don't know, Karl... but I'm trying in vain to find this information on the manufacturer's website for the Korean Hyundai Ioniq 5. Shouldn't the Korean authorities also check the domestic brand before issuing similar punishments?
