As expected, Tesla appealed and insists on having the courts force PostNord to deliver.
I still have concerns regarding Tesla’s description of the situation, some things (IMHO) seem to cross the line between “technically correct” and “incorrect”. There are also plenty of things Tesla could do to mitigate the damages they claim to suffer, yet they don’t (or worse, they do and just omitted that to make the damages sound more severe in the filing). And I still think that Tesla should have gone to the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority prior to going to the courts.
Snickered at the part where Tesla basically said that “PostNord can’t claim force majeure since the contracts are between PostNord and the senders, not between PostNord and Tesla!”…
Way above my pay grade. My gut feeling however is that forcing PostNord to circumvent the strike is way more problematic than getting the Transport Agency to find an alternative way of supplying license plates to Tesla. ....
But that is not what the egregious Elon Musk is all about....The latter in that case should be about finding a legally acceptable way of fulfilling the agency’s task rather than having Tesla impose a specific solution.
Rather, it is about him getting his own way because that is what he has decided he wants.
Psychologically, he cannot handle being challenged, - he sees it as an affront - and thus, nuance, compromise, wit, and subtlety - above all, a desire to reach a mutually satisfactory solution - are all strange words (and concepts) to him.
