This might actually have a Streisand effect, in that many people who were looking to buy an electric car may not have heard of this, and so will now factor this in to their purchasing decisions and pick something else.
The ruling says people already know this when they buy it, so would it actually have any extra impact?
Also service is getting better, but the road ahead of them is quite long
The ruling might say that, but it's a shit ruling that at least one point reverses the burden of proof, so all bets are off, really 🤷
Besides, this case was about Tesla specifically, not EVs generally.
Musk is infamous for overpromising to the point of just making shit up and Teslas have notoriously shoddy build quality resulting from a quality assurance policy of "don't", so it's hardly a surprise that they're at the shop much more than Musk said they would be..
