If all of this is true, it feels like Tesla China employs some people that really should not be part of Tesla. It's probably a nontrivial effort to keep everyone aligned in a company that spans the whole globe.

Sounds like Tesla China is employing people that aligned with company goals.... More likely you have a rose colored picture of what this corporation is about. I am not a Elon hater like many, I actually enjoy is Social media antics.. however Tesla as a company is terrible, from their apple like control over their "platform" to their amazon like labor practices, to their Authoritarian needs to control all aspects of their products... No it sounds like Tesla China is right inline with Corporate Tesla

Are you implying that Musk didn't know about this lawsuit? Highly doubt it, since he seems to be exactly the type of CEO who would do this and also he's not the type of CEO without whose approval such a thing could have happened.

My first thought too - although it doesn't excuse it.

Which people? The ones that sold the car while claiming it had not been in an accident? The people who want to sue now? I would guess the sales people and lawyers are in different areas of the company. Could this be a cultural thing at the company or, at least, the part in China? Remember, Tesla builds cars that you aren't allowed to have non-Tesla folks fix them and Tesla has turned off features in used cars because they didn't think it was bought at a high enough price (even when it was sold used with the features). This has happened in the US.

Elon is one of the most litigious CEOs. Fish rots from the head.

  Surely not more litigious than Bezos.

Do you seriously think this is out of character for Tesla? When I read the headline I just took it as a given that this order came straight from Elon. Even though that turned out not to be the case, it’s clearly a reflection of the culture he’s built.
