Norway denies holding up Tesla’s efforts to improve service
Tesla founder Elon Musk last week blamed the Norwegian government for holding up its ability to address a swelling number of customer complaints in the country — its biggest market after the US and China. But Norway’s public roads authority told Reuters it had not yet seen a formal application for “mobile service vans” from Tesla.
“Tesla Norway has recently been in a dialogue with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) about regulations for allowing workshops or the possibility of so-called ‘mobile service vans’,” The Norwegian transport ministry said in a statement to Reuters late on Friday.
“The NPRA gave its answer on June 1, explained the rules that are valid and that they would welcome a potential application from Tesla Norway to allow mobile service vans. The NPRA has for the moment not received, as of today, such an application.”
