Around 10 French clients with leases on Teslas are suing the US carmaker, run by Elon Musk, because they consider the vehicles to be "extreme-right" symbols, the law firm representing them said on Wednesday.

Ok, this doesn't sound too crazy in context.
They aren't owners, they are suing to be released from their lease contracts because they feel they suffered "direct and concrete" damage from the way Teslas are now associated with "Elon Musk's actions".

They feel they suffered "direct and concrete" damage from the way Teslas are now associated with "Elon Musk's actions", the GKA law firm said.
They are demanding the Paris commercial court order their lease contracts be terminated and legal costs reimbursed, it said in a statement
As funny as this is I can't see it going anywhere.

Maybe not, but there's some merit to it. Initially it was a highly desirable car, now one is ashamed to be in because owner is a Nazi. Another problem is that there's much higher risk that someone else will damage it (again, because of the owner).

Why? This was not something people must have expected due to it being obvious and there is also plain and obvious harm done to them.

If this is the precedent then everything becomes unexpected. You made a contract buying the car, that contract is signed in the past. Nobody cares what happens after that.

There’s absolutely merit to the idea, but probably not merit legally. But who knows, legalities are labyrinthine and stupid and vary from country to country.

I think they are looking for an early release from the lease, not a refund on a purchase.

They explicitly did not do that.

Also: this was not accidental but a willful decision made by the company. If they did just Boeing it you would not have a case.

That should increase the insurance premium and therefore the lease as well due to the risk

If your Nazi landlord put up a sign in the front yard that says "THIS RENTER GIVES MONEY TO NAZIS," you'd probably want to end your lease, too

Of course it's not crazy. The CEO went all in on being a fascist piece of shit, and brazenly open drug addiction, which has directly damaged the assets of all of his businesses, their customers assets, and the entire brands.
If, within the next 5 years, Elon isn't billions in debt and destitute, that's how you know we all live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as "democracies".

Dear France, never change.

Ya, I'm guessing insurance costs have risen and that definitely comes into play.

But also, please use deodorant and stop being so rude to American visitors in paris. I get that a lot of us are shitty tourists, but some of us are just regular people who are there for work (and not paid as well as you'd think to be there for that work).
Edit: said France when I meant Paris cause I'm a stupid American

Yeah, buying a car, not a Neo Nazi Symbol.

I feel like we all very, very clearly knew it already.

There no need to feel so special, people in Paris are rude to just about everyone. My condolences to anyone who has to work or live there

Furthermore, smoking is disgusting.
