Tesla is facing potential sales suspension in California, according to Electrek. The state's DMV filed a lawsuit accusing the automaker of misleading advertising related to Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features. The DMV is seeking a 30-day ban on Tesla’s dealer license, citing years-long concerns about creating incorrect consumer perceptions. A five-day court hearing has been scheduled. Tesla maintains that driver alerts included in the system mitigate confusion. A suspension could harm the company’s U.S. performance, as second-quarter sales declined 12.6%, although Tesla still holds 44% of the EV market. Tesla's China sales are on the rebound, while global Model 3 sales have topped 3 million, with second-quarter deliveries exceeding forecasts.
