That’s a web site though, not an advertisement. Was asking about advertisements.


That web site clearly advertises a Tesla car. Hence it is an advertisement.

In general, for the purposes of regulating advertisement, everything a company says about a product is advertisement. Whether they put it on their website or a billboard is largely irrelevant.
