I think I'm just gonna sit back on this story. Tesla has proved itself to be untrustworthy repeatedly but Mr. Tripp seems like he's doing whatever it takes to avoid going to prison. The truth is the first casualty here.
- jsmthrowaway 8y agoOne does not end up in prison from a lawsuit. Tesla cited the criminal codes in question to try to make that happen, but only the government can bring criminal cases, and criminal cases aren’t brought on unproven allegations in a civil lawsuit. If they were serious about putting him in prison, Tesla would have discussed referrals to law enforcement in their communications and we’d likely be hearing from district attorneys by now, given the attention on the case. Martin Tripp ending up in prison is extraordinarily unlikely, even if Tesla is 100% correct. That you even considered the possibility means that Tesla’s strategy of sprinkling the word “illegal” throughout the complaint to paint a criminal picture worked.
