Can we trust Tesla (and other manufacturers) after they did this:
"Tesla eventually agreed to split the cost of the repair, but before they would do that, the owner had to sign away his right to discuss the defect, which could preclude him from reporting it to the National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration (NHTSA)."

- cmurf 4y agoNo. They are offering bribes. It's anti-competitive behavior in that it withholds information consumers need to make free and informed decisions. And it's fraud. Tesla gains financially from this deception. If offering the bribe is not already illegal, it should be made illegal. If it is illegal it should be prosecuted. By all means start out with a per bribe fine at least equivalent to the profit of a single unit, or else the fine is just a cost of doing business. Otherwise, treat it as a crime.
