'Extreme-Right Totems': Tesla Owners Go To Court Over Musk's Politics
Briefly

A group of Tesla lessees in France has filed a lawsuit against the company, citing that the political actions of CEO Elon Musk have turned their vehicles into symbols of extreme-right politics. Claiming 'direct and concrete' damage from this association, they seek termination of their contracts and reimbursement of legal fees. The lawsuit highlights how the perception of their cars has degraded their experience, focusing on the disconnect between their initial intent to own an innovative vehicle and the current political implications tied to the brand.
According to a recent report from a group of around 10 Tesla lessees in France have decided that they've had enough of Musk's politics and want out of their vehicle contracts.
They feel they suffered 'direct and concrete' damage from the way Teslas are now associated with 'Elon Musk's actions', the GKA law firm said.

The perception of the Teslas they leased 'prevents them from fully enjoying their car'.
