    Going to have to go with this one again.

    “I sued Tesla, because I bought their car, I drove it and then I got stuck!”

      Yes, selling a defective product makes you liable for the result of that defect.

      This is basic fucking business unless you’re a right-wing jerkoff “libertarian.”

        A recall is a tacit admission that there is a problem, there is a fix, and it will be fixed at the manufacturer’s expense.

        Tesla has claimed there is no issue, instituted teams designed solely to minimize the number of complaints about this issue, done all they can to deny that there is a problem, and ultimately is being sued for failing to actually do their damn jobs.

        If you don’t understand the difference maybe you need to grow up a bit more before having an opinion.

        Well that’s fine. The good thing about those lyrics is you can just swap tesla for another company.

          Volkswagen fucked with EPA tests and paid almost $15 billion for their efforts.

          And yet you think Tesla, a company owned and operated by an absolute sociopath, is being totally honest with their range numbers.

          Fucking lawl.
