California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has placed on hold an order suspending Tesla’s car sales in the state, granting the electric vehicle maker additional time to respond to allegations of misleading marketing and overstated self-driving capabilities.

DMV Director Steve Gordon told reporters on Tuesday that the agency adopted a judge’s recommendation for a 30-day suspension of Tesla’s manufacturing and sales licenses, but stayed the measures.
