As with so much you post, that just isn't true in any respect. No companies other than Tesla sue their customers for speaking ill of a company.

There is voicing an personal held belief

And there is making and outright unsubstantiated claim.

The young woman in question obviously made the latter. She was successfully sued and lost with financial penalties

It's not getting through to you is it? We all know this. The point is that it is self destructive behavior from Tesla.

I have wanted a Tesla X for about 6 years. Knew I couldn't afford it, so then wanted a Tesla Y.

I wouldn't touch Tesla now with a barge pole. Those that do have Teslas are investing in bumper stickers that say "I got this before he was a Nazi". The brand is close to being irrevocably tarnished. Sales are about to fall off a cliff.

Also may be time those who left deposits with Tesla for cars that are never going to be made, started to ask for their money back?

I know, it's a good business practice, fight back against the whingers. Show that Tesla will defend their brand. All companies do that, especially when in the right.

We know, thats your decision.

I won't be buying stickers for my cars or the family. We have 5 now as of yesterday.

Just remember the hippy's love VW beetle's , so there is no irrevocable damage, only in the head of the loony woke lefties.

There's also the fact that Teslas are shît cars with crap build quality. This isn't news, look at 2nd hand values.

That's what you'd like to believe. Having several of these vehicles, they are very very good, reliable, fast, need almost no servicing.

I changed my wife's braking system on her 106k Model 3 LR. I really need not have. The rotors were hardly worn, pads with 90% left after 106k miles. Anyhow a good overall will last another 100k

What a load of bollocks.

90% pads left on a heavy car with 106k on it... :laugh:

To be fair, you'd expect them to last longer on an EV with regenerative braking.

But this isn't a symptom of Tesla's build quality, as the forum idiot is attempting to claim, it would be the same on any EV with regenerative braking.

You can weigh fewer brake pad changes against increased tyre wear though ;)

Oh dear

If you don't own an EV you obviously don't know about regen braking

Rotors hardly worn, more surface rust than anything

Another non owner myth.

My last set of tyres lastedover 30k miles on Model 3 The car has had 4 sets of tyres in over 100k miles.

Our Nissan Leaf gets high 20k miles out of a front set of tyres

Model 600+ hp Model S has over 24k miles on the original tyres

This is true. But 100k on UK roads with "hardly any wear" is about as much bollocks as there is. It all stems from Elon saying that Teslas "brake pads will literally never need to be replaced".

But just in case here are some for sale :laugh:
