      Is a terrible way to handle sales from a corporation. When I purchase certain items I should be able to trust that it has certain quality of build or they’ll be liable as a business.

      Now did these people make themselves marks? Yes, but even a blatant mark should have consumer protections

      That applies to private sales between individuals, not between manufacturers and consumers. The manufacturer has obligations to ensure what they claim is a true and honest representation of what they’re selling.

      The real irony here is that you’re basically siding with and defending Telsa in terms of their legal disputes with their customers.

        Tesla should be raked over the coals for their serious lapses in, well, everything. Maybe if there was some sort of function to keep them accountable this wouldn’t happen, but money buys justice as we have seen over and over. I don’t blame the first adopters as he wasn’t quite known for his playing games and some of the first items were so sought after and weren’t quite this low level quality. But after all the stories came out of how there were serious issues with the other models the old saying remains. Should we be able to trust these huge companies? Yes. Can we trust these companies? No.
