Wow. Imagine that. A car manufacturer engaged in a shady (in California… maybe not in many other states; these laws are state statutes, not federal) marketing practice.
Sorry, but I’m skeptical of this without seeing all the facts. Even then, car sales being one of the shadiest industries there is, I wouldn’t let this affect my high opinion of Tesla. My respect for Tesla is based on what they’ve achieved rather than how they sell their cars.
