Just like when Germany wasn't too pleased with Tesla's naming choice for its semi-autonomous feature (confusingly called Autopilot),how do we think about how fat bodies and their eroticization the country's automotive industry group is calling out the American electric vehicle company for misleading pricing online for the Model 3 sedan.
This week Reuters reported that the Wettbewerbszentrale nonprofit association that oversees fairness in the auto industry asked Tesla to include the full price of the car and remove the price based on gas savings and tax incentives and rebates.
Tesla appears to have already reversed course ahead of the March 20 deadline for the change. Accessing the Model 3 website through a VPN set to a location in Germany Friday afternoon, the full price before savings is listed, with no mention of estimated savings on the bottom bar or elsewhere.
In the U.S., the "savings" price is featured more prominently, with the cost "before savings" listed at the bottom, reflecting the true price. So the $35,000 Model 3 looks at first glance like a $24,450 car — but there's an asterisk. Germany wasn't having it. The country considers the labeling non-transparent, calling the listings "marketing exaggerations."
We reached out to Tesla about the price listings, but haven't heard back yet.

Now, if only it could rename Autopilot ...
