In terms of corporate Walmart, absolutely. But it's annoying as can be -- and even scary -- to employees at those stores. Customers too.
Walmart's real objective with a very public suit like this is to make sure that customers and employees see Tesla/Solar City as the villain. Not America's biggest retailer.
Even tight-fisted businesses get righteous about this kind of stuff. It's a great way to win the "we care" posturing game, at least for one day.
- toxican 7y agoRight because destroying small town businesses, unethical employee treatment, etc. didn't push folks away, but a fire at a walmart somewhere in the country will.
- wolco 7y agoWalmart may have been first with low prices rurally but with Amazon and other online realitors it was only a matter of time.
- manigandham 7y agoSmall town businesses were destroyed by consumers who stopped shopping there.
- raverbashing 7y agoI wouldn't call a fire merely "scary", is a real risk. Yes, I think Tesla should be more diligent here.
