Tesla cancels $107M order

• jasonvorhe 10y ago
  "The order was likely from U.S. carmaker Tesla and the cancellation was purely motivated by “political reasons,” German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche, a sister publication of Handelsblatt, claimed, without citing sources." Basically hearsay. Maybe it was Faraday Future and they simply don't have the money after the botched CES show? Wouldn't be the first order cancellation from FF.

    How could that be described as being "purely motivated by “political reasons,”"
    • jasonvorhe 10y ago
      That's nothing but an assumption from the editor, because of a lack of sources.

        You could be right, but I assumed the quotes around the “political reasons,” was because the magazine was quoting someone but didn't want to say who they were quoting.
