It unfortunately worked well for FOX in court most of the time.

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.
