Recently, according to the auto self-media and car critic "Boss Cai", he received a civil litigation case indictment sent by Tesla Company, as well as relevant documents served to it after the court has accepted the case, Tesla claimed 5 million yuan from it and demanded a public apology.
According to the data, "Boss Cai" is a car critic who mainly explains the professional content of the car, has more than 2 million fans on a video platform, and has a large number of fans with the characteristics of daring to tell the truth and being professional, and has a certain influence in the car review industry.
It is reported that Tesla sued the car critic "Boss Cai" (real name: Cai Jia) for violating his company's reputation rights. Judging from the content of the disclosed indictment, Tesla filed a four-point litigation request to the court:
Including, requiring the defendant to stop the infringement and remove the infringing content;
Require the defendant to publicly apologize in writing to the plaintiff and place a top on the relevant platform for not less than 90 days;
Require the defendant to pay the plaintiff RMB 5 million in tortious damages;
The defendant is required to bear the costs of the case.
"Boss Cai" said that this is the second time tesla has sued itself, Tesla sued itself last year, but was rejected by the court, and this time Tesla took the "higher-level head office" as the plaintiff and sued itself again.
In 2021, "Boss Cai" released a video through a video platform with the theme of "One of my Tesla supplier friends exposed the relevant insiders".
"Boss Cai" broke the news in this video that one of his friends is one of Tesla's suppliers, Tesla has adopted measures such as lowering prices, strict settlement methods or cycles for suppliers after localization, and this move may cause problems in the quality of suppliers' products, and Tesla's responsible inspection personnel and supplier personnel have behaviors such as "eating and taking cards".
Tesla complained about the above content because there is no evidence to support the authenticity of the above content. "Boss Cai" said that the above content belongs to the friend's revelations, but it is impossible for him to ask this "friend" to testify for himself.
In addition, "Boss Cai" did not understand Tesla's demand for "5 million yuan in compensation". He believes that Tesla has no relevant evidence to prove that its content caused a loss of 5 million yuan, but this high claim subject will increase the cost of responding to the lawsuit, such as the lawyer's fee is charged according to the subject matter of the case.
In response to the video content released by himself, "Boss Cai" said that Tesla did not investigate at the first time, but complained and sued the exposed people, "Many large companies are in the public opinion and media (supervision) environment, as such a large company, really can not say a flaw? In terms of strength, I will certainly not be able to fight you, but I will also accompany you to the end if I sue. ”
