Tesla's corporate officers have a fiduciary duty to respond to something that hurts their brand this badly. Top Gear is the most popular car review show globally with around 350 million viewers world-wide.

Apparently a lawsuit is the best response they could come up with.

So they'll be suing themselves now? Because this lawsuit is hurting their brand a lot more than the Top Gear review did.

I remember seeing it when it came out, and thinking how positive it was. Sure, Jeremy ridiculed it for running out of power, but at the same time he spent a long time talking about how fast it was. From memory he said something like "if this is the future, bring it on"

By your logic, what should Audi do when he said (paraphrasing): "All Audi drivers are cocks"?

Apparently their fiduciary duty also includes waiting almost 3 years after the review to finally do react. Seems like well-timed headline grabbing to me. I'm sure in 3 years they'll sue me for saying that.
