Tesla's resubmitted libel and malicious falsehood claim has been rejected by Mr Justice Tugendhat, a judge with literally the best surname... In The World.

Agree about the name Wyvern. Obviously a man with excellent judgement.

What goes around, comes around. Tesla has far bigger problems. It's now public knowledge that if any of their batteries become completely discharged, the battery has to be replaced at a cost of $40,000 to the car's owner, as Tesla is refusing to provide any warranty coverage. This is going to affect their sales far more than the TG episode.

Well, there's a Mr Justice Judge, who I reckon only chose his career to win a bet.

Must be tough to be a Tesla owner going on holiday. You don't just have to get a sitter for the cat, obviously.
