Hold up folks, this isn't quite the usual debate about the merits of the technology or overselling what it can do. That lawsuit stems from where the cars were manufactured.
1. Tesla "FSD" on its own isn't street-legal in South Korea.
2. However it is street-legal if it comes with a car imported from the US, because of a trade-agreement between the two countries.
3. Tesla took "FSD" money from customers while providing them China-made cars that don't get that exception.
> FSD can be used on about 20% of Tesla vehicles registered in South Korea — those manufactured in the US, Tesla Korea country manager Seo Young-deuk said in parliamentary testimony last month. Those cars meet US vehicle-safety standards that South Korea recognizes as part of a free trade agreement, according to the forthcoming complaint to the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC), seen by Reuters.

I think your third point is broken. It doesnt matter where the cars are made, the law of SK states that FSD cannot be used for either car.
> It doesn't matter where the cars are made
Counterexample from the article:

What a coincidence, Tesla mislead everyone else about automated driving too!
