==Wrongful legal threats==
==Wrongful legal threats==
Tesla once sent a legal threat to a Swedish car repair company called "[[Grufman Bil AB]]" to take down a YouTube video that they had posted that showed them smashing a car component that was supposed to hold up a wheel with a big hammer, showing how that component was made of metal that was a lot weaker than one could reasonably expect. Grufman Bil decided to quickly take down that video and when someone asked them why, Grufman Bil said "because it's not worth getting sued over," which indicates that Tesla was possibly threatening to sue people who show important car defects.

<!---'''Note:''' Someone who remembers this incident in greater detail and can give sources and proof etc, should modify this paragraph I've written so it's much more clear and trustworthy etc. Someone who has the skills of being a reporter should ask Grufman Bil AB about this and try to find the original YouTube video as evidence of my claim etc. I understand that the legal fight would not be worth it to a small car repair company but it's important to the overall society to be aware of that Tesla does things like this. Tesla's argument for why Grufman Bil must take down that video was that "It hurts Tesla as a company financially if people can see that video" IIRC. But the counter argument would be that a car part that uses too weak metal is a danger to Tesla car owners and that they can be hurt physically if such weaknesses are hidden by Tesla. So someone please improve this paragraph because I think it's important that big companies should not get away with bullying smaller companies like this, and succeeding in hiding important weaknesses in their cars from their buyers. --->
