Tesla FSD in South Korea: investigations, complaints and refused refunds
In South Korea, police are investigating around 80 people suspected of circumventing Tesla FSD usage restrictions, and a court has dismissed owners seeking a refund for the option. A consumer association accuses Tesla of having sold FSD to customers who could not legally use it, a specialized media outlet claiming that 99% of 2025 sales were affected. These elements prolong a controversy over the regulatory and commercial limits of FSD. The case is covered in South Korea and the United States, but the provided sub-events concern the South Korean market.
