Mercedes-Benz Korea sanctioned over misleading EV battery claims
cross-posted from : https://lemmy.zip/post/60481861 [https://lemmy.zip/post/60481861] > The nation’s antitrust watchdog also ordered the carmaker to rectify its deceptive marketing practices. According to the authority’s investigation, the carmaker concealed the actual battery supplier for several models — the EQE and EQS EVs — and promoted as if all of the vehicles were equipped with batteries from CATL, the world’s largest battery maker. > Mercedes-Benz Korea and its German headquarters were already aware of the battery suppliers, but deliberately deleted information on Farasis in its sales guide here, according to the FTC investigation. The local subsidiary received education materials on the battery suppliers for each EV lineup from the German headquarters in May 2021.

Tesla Is Doing Nearly Nothing To Make Its California Robotaxi Dream A Reality
A spokesperson for the DMV says Tesla has not applied for any additional permits.
