Tesla Motors electric sports car maker has lost an important part of the High Court libel action against the BBC program Top Gear, but it still requires a dangerous enterprise located about an episode that showed the Roadster model is the company's battery runs out in the race.
He went to the High Court in London on Wednesday, Justice Tugendhat said the screen above the gearbox reasonable compared with the performance of the car at the airport might show the performance monitor in public.
The judge decided Tugendhat
In my belief, the words complained about are really able to convey a sense at all that states that the plaintiff [Tesla] no one be deceived.
This is because there is a difference between driving style and characteristics of the track compared to road conditions [...] so great that a reasonable person understands that the network performance [Top Gear] the song is the possibility of a direct comparison on public roads
Which is very similar to the argument that happened to me earlier this year:
Because even Tesla has acknowledged that the first-generation roadster song was not, is Top Gear misleading to describe it as a car capable of driving all the driving range to claim back the heat?
Justice Tugendhat is expected to rule on the complaint "malicious lies" this week, but do not be surprised if deported. And even if it does, one wonders why Tesla went to all these problems. This was stated in court that the transmission of 2008 affect their business because of the availability through downloads, DVDs, and syndication. But in reality, it is possible that the negative publicity generated by the effort to delay and the general public to demand more popular Tesla motor show in the world.
