Sad thing is, the fines aren't really harmful at this scale. Any company large enough will just count this as OpEx and in some cases be able to write it off their taxes.
I have nothing against Tesla as a company, love their cars, and want nothing more than for them (as well as EVs in general) to become even more mainstream.
But we as a society have enabled corporations to behave like this and let them get away with crap time and time again only to be hit with fines that add up to a day or two's profits. This has to change.
