    “My right to free speech should extend to the right for my company to tell lies” is quite the statement, but let’s see how that goes.

        Isn’t this different because there are specifically truth-in-advertising laws? Not even a natural person is immune to truth-in-advertising laws. So it seems like Tesla is making a despirate move.

          It looks like their main argument is that the state had the last 10 years to object and only now did so and therefore imply that it was reasonable to infer that because the state didn’t raise objections in that time, that Tesla shouldn’t be found guilty of false advertising.

      Unfortunately a corporation is a person. Worse yet is when they are a very rich person with actual product and capital.
