> This one is a bit better coverage of it This article omits the crowdfunded defense and all quotes from the defendant, Martin Tripp. It also glosses over the purported issues: > Tripp told the SEC that Tesla had installed batteries with holes punctured in them, placed battery cells too close to one another and didn’t properly affix them. ... Tripp also alleged that the company systematically reused parts that had been deemed scrap or waste in vehicles. Is Tesla running an undercover salvage operation, to identify reusable components and reduce waste from their "totaled" cars? |

The economics of the situation would say no. The number of "totaled" teslas is a tiny fraction of the number they are producing.
