Notice how I mentioned model 3 and y, which are the ones selling millions, not musk's ego trip cybertruck?

A TV interview or a Twitter rant is not the kind of advertising you can sue for, your honor.

how about the official video on the Tesla website that's used to promote FSD? maybe if you stopped licking elon's boots you'd have time to inform yourself...
