France orders Tesla to end ‘deceptive commercial practices'
French anti-fraud authorities said on Tuesday they have ordered US electric car giant Tesla's local subsidiary to stop 'deceptive commercial practices' after an investigation found several violations harmful to consumers and contrary to law. The fraud prevention and consumer protection agency (DGCCRF) said its agents investigated Tesla's French subsidiary between 2023 and 2024 after reports were filed on a consumer complaint platform. The probe revealed 'deceptive commercial practices regarding the fully autonomous driving capabilities of Tesla vehicles, the availability of certain options and vehicle trade-in offers,' it said. The agency also cited delays in refunding cancelled orders, a lack of information on the location of deliveries and incomplete sales contracts, among other violations. Tesla was given four months to comply with regulations. It faces a daily fine of 50,000 euros ($58,000) if it fails to stop deceptive commercial practices over the fully autonomous driving option of certain Tesla models. Tesla did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment. Tesla sales have tanked in Europe in recent months owing to an ageing fleet of cars, rising competition and consumer distaste for Elon Musk's role in US President Donald Trump's administration.

Ecuador court delivers final blow to opposition election challenge
QUITO, May 6 (Reuters) - Ecuador's electoral court dismissed a request from the nation's biggest opposition party contesting the results of April's presidential election, a document published on Tuesday showed, leaving the group with no further recourse. Incumbent President Daniel Noboa has already been widely recognized by international elections observers and the nation's electoral council as the winner of last month's run-off. However, leftist challenger Luisa Gonzalez, of the Citizens' Revolution party, decried the results as a product of fraud and her coalition had filed a series of challenges. The court ruling, dated Monday, said the opposition's request was unfounded. Gonzalez's mentor, former President Rafael Correa, said on social media after the ruling was released that ballot boxes should be opened for a recount and repeated allegations that Noboa's victory was "impossible." Noboa has scoffed at the fraud claims.
