Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Tesla Makes a Wild Play”.
Tesla demands statute of limitations on lying yeah. This is amazing. That moment like this is some Supreme level gaslighting stuff right here, uh I didn’t lie, but if I did it doesn’t matter because it was a long time ago, uh following a 2-year investigation, the California Department of Motor Vehicles is accusing Tesla of misleading advertising concerning its Full self-driving feature something that I’d like to point out that we were calling them on many years before the Department of Motor Vehicles brought it up and Tesla thinks that delay for them to bring it up is a really big deal. Tesla argues that it relied on the assumption that the DMV tacitly accepted its marketing, because Tesla started using the term full self-driving in 2016 and the DMV didn’t act until 2021. Wow Tesla also claims that California’s false advertising rules for autonomous vehicles inappropriately restrict constitutional, protected speech that is truthful and non-misleading.
So because no one called you on your for a long time, you should get off now. There are things that work that way like we had talked before about how um I believe this came up when we were talking about uh react streamers, where yeah there are actually rules in place where, if you know that someone is infringing your copyright, you have to Defend it and you intentionally allow them to continue to do it for a long time so that you can seek additional damages um that can that can blow up in your face and you you can lose that because you didn’t do anything about it. But this is different. There is no increase in Damages that the DMV is after they’re.
Just saying you can’t do that um, I don’t know. Maybe the D, I actually don’t know what damage is there after. I have no idea. Okay, forget that huh yeah.
What would the, what would the difference be here? That’S very interesting: could they make the argument that they, you know, didn’t, know or realize the extent of it they needed to conduct their investigation? I this is going to be. This is going to be an interesting one. There is weird stuff cuz like do you remember you remember that I’m going to I’m going to offshoot here a little bit for a sec, but do you remember that whole thing where Subway sandwiches were not actually a foot long and they said that foot long was Just like the name, not a descriptor and all that kind of stuff, they ended up losing that and they’re they’re, an actual foot long now, um so like there. There was a bunch of that going on at that time.
I, if I remember correctly, there was like fresh, never Frozen from some other place. I don’t know if that’s the exact T line, but it was something along those lines and they were like that Tim Horton. Maybe it was, I don’t know I I don’t remember it was it was one of them. That was something like that um.
I don’t remember if it was exactly that don’t look too far into it um, but they were like yeah 100 % real Canadian beef, something like that is also a company, not a tagline yeah like that’s, that’s crazy. It’S like that’s the name of our company. That doesn’t actually mean anything. It’S like okay, come on like this type of stuff is not maybe that’s the one I was thinking of.
I don’t know um, but this type of stuff is not really super new, but it is definitely super BS. .
