No, just somewhat irrelevant. The defeat device was installed on ICE engines to meet emissions and economy standards, standards which don't apply to electric cars. Since Telsa doesn't make any ICE cars, it's as easy to compare a bicycle to Volkswagen versus a Tesla. They're just in completely different conversations when it comes to emissions cheating, since they don't have any regulated emissions.

The statement was “Good luck finding a car manufacturer....” Tesla is a car manufacturer. Seems pretty relevant to me.
