I guess this is approaching the "find out" phase.
VW/Audi group fucked around with emission tests, and they found out.
They found out what? Their business wasn't affected at all as far as I can tell. They should have been broken up and shut down but instead they got caught doing the same thing AGAIN.
So yeah, not sure what Tesla is going to find out other than "money means you can get away with anything", which Musk already knows well.
And just to be clear, I own a Tesla. I just got it back from the shop after ELEVEN MONTHS because those fucking tools would rather sell more cars on false promises than divert some parts to repair the cars they've already sold. I love that car but I'm selling it. Nobody should go anywhere near Tesla cars until they get their supply chain shit together.
Did they loan you another car during that time, or were you stuck paying on a car you couldn't use for 11 months? I'd consider suing if it was the latter.
It was absolutely the latter. And I absolutely would sue if I didn't have serious health issues (hello, cancer!) to deal with instead. It takes a lot of time and effort to deal with something like that, and that's just not in the cards right now.
I'm sorry about your condition. Beat the shit out of it!
