> Xpeng said in a filing that it’s already assisted Tesla voluntarily and in response to a prior subpoena served on XMotors, including by turning over a forensic image of Cao’s laptop and more than 12,000 documents. The U.S. carmaker’s latest demand for information doesn’t change the fact that there’s no evidence that any Tesla trade secrets were passed on to Xpeng, the company said. When even Bloomberg acknowledges that the accusations are shaky you have to start questioning Tesla's narrative (literally, there's a section of TFA called a "Questionable Narrative"). Musk is known for being paranoid about "short-sellers", maybe the same could extend to "ip theft". > Tesla is finally learning the lesson that all other companies doing business in China have already learned. The events described involve engineers working in the US and the entire thing is being judicated in San Francisco. It has nothing to do with "doing business in China".
