Tesla warns that a federal probe into whether it exaggerated the range of its cars may lead to a ‘material adverse impact on our business’::Earlier this year, Reuters reported that Tesla had created a special “diversions team” to avoid dealing with complaints from customers about their vehicle ranges.
“If we can’t lie about what it can do, how can we sell our product?” is an absolutely wild admission.
tesla warns that being outed for lying about range will make people not buy their cars.
Oh my
Itt: Lemmy learns about sec filings.
Yeah, if I was investigated for fraud too, it would also have an adverse impact on my business as well. We should just never investigate fraud then I guess.
Fortune once again sterilizing the headline.

I only visit the comments of these kinds of posts to see the “praise me” comments from people that bought one of these and needs randos to know they made a good purchasing decision.

Skill issue
It feels telling of corporate media that they chose to frame the company under suspicion of fraud complaining about the government investigation ruining their profits as a “warning.” As though they’re experts reporting on their predictions about a natural phenomenon or a policy proposal and not… you know… the criminals crying foul.
