When Life Gives You Lemons

I always try and remove my preconceptions from a story when I'm reading it (I tend to be a fan of tesla and musk) and took care to read both the linked to article as well as tesla's version, but lots of things about this scream bullshit.

I especially dislike the youtube video created by the lawyer[1], reminds me of the american political smear campaigns that are run.

"...but we're blessed: this bitch ain't caught on fire.. yet"

Err... does this lawyer want people to take him seriously? And right after that zinger he drives past a cardboard cutout of George Clooney.

By doing crazy things like this video, he pulls attention from a wider audience, giving his opponent more reason to settle early and shut him up.

Yeah, I'm wondering why this video was created by the lawyer filing the lemon law suit against Tesla. I don't see why it was needed if they've got a legitimate case. You file the suit, lay out your evidence, and that's about it. How is this video supposed to help? Are we supposed to start a kickstarter for this guy to give him money to pursue the lawsuit?

It's to encourage Tesla to settle so that he stops producing negative publicity.

The presence of the videos perhaps gives you a hint about what the case is really about. And it's probably not about the car.
