TL:DR they’re suing her for a bunch of public protests she did and loudly claiming that the cars brakes failed without proof. The problem is, the proof is available in the form of pre crash data from the car, which Tesla has and refuses to turn over. So yeah pretty much exactly the dystopian kafkaesque nightmare you thought it was.

This is why:
- I will never own a Tesla in particular
- I will never own a brake-by-wire car or one without a purely mechanical handbrake
and infinitely more importantly,
- This is why it's essential to have things like strong freedom of speech, good consumer-protection laws, and a culture that does not accept government corruption. The sentiments expressed in items #1 and #2 above do absolutely fuck-all to solve the problem on a societal level.
This is absolutely batshit. Tesla is suing victims of crashes that happened due to their own cars lack of quality control. This is beyond the fucking pale and it sounds like that same practice may be setting up shop in the USA pretty soon. Can't wait!!!

The sad thing is AP thinks this is a really hard-hitting story and proves they're good journalists.
AP . . . AP, stop. It's too late, AP.
It's over.
