FTA: "I refuse to accept it," Zhang told the Associated Press, "As a consumer, even if I said something wrong, I have the right to comment and criticize. I spoke about my feelings as a user of the car. It has nothing to do with damaging their reputation."

She's allowed even under Chinese law to express her disappointment in the product. But after losing two cases in which she had a chance to prove the brakes failed she then jumped on a Tesla at an auto show and screamed "Tesla Brakes fail". This is a sick person.

Seems like defamation to me. I really don't see the issue.

There's nothing to substantiate the claims, of course she claims they withheld information, thats how fraudsters work.

Is there a rash of Tesla's brakes failing?
Should Tesla be able to record your conversations to disprove cases like this?
Looking at the data my guess it never happened as she claims.

Why isn't science important to people like Corky, Yav and AngryDad. Why ignore science? Are you deniers? Why support people like this, that can't accept the courts decisions? Do you support Trump doing the same?

"Two Chinese journalists based in Shanghai told AP there is an unwritten rule to avoid critical coverage of Tesla. Both spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing retaliation.

"We were told by our editor that we should not write negatively about Tesla because it is a key company that was introduced and protected by the Shanghai government," a tech reporter told AP."

Supposed Tech Boi INut won't be happy until this is true in the US, too.

And speaking of science:

Instead, the left built Elon instead of having even the tiniest bit of skepticism.

They didn't listen to the coal rollers, and here we are.

All it takes for you to defend a known liar is for that liar to support your fascist cult leader.

Eron brakes no work, now have to pay.

This is typical of capitalists... not only do they want us to pay for their products but they want us to pay for the ability to use their products... if we don't line their pockets we are called unAmerican.
