What's more lucrative than selling Teslas? Being Tesla's legal team of course. After unsuccessfully suing Fisker last year, Tesla's lawyers now have the chance to rack up some hours defending the company from Martin Eberhard, Tesla's co-founder.
Turns out Eberhard was none too pleased about the things current CEO Elon Musk said about him after Eberhard was ousted from the company. After mulling it over for some time, Eberhard finally decided to file suit for defamation among other things, a claim that Tesla calls "twisted and wrong." Well this ought to be interesting.

I should have been a lawyer. Thanks to twits like these guys, that's where the real money is.

I'm getting more and more uninpressed by this whole Tesla hype.
It was (and still is) a good idea, and any car that pushes the envolope is bound to stumble onto problems, but if they keep having these incidents they'll stay as just another small scale manufacturer, and will eventually die out.

This company is run so poorly. Business schools will be using Telsa as a case study for years.
