Tesla sues Fisker

Supposed to have been White Star?

Tesla has filed a lawsuit against Fisker Automotive. According to InsideLine, "The action contends that Denmark-born designer Henrik Fisker's company fraudulently agreed to take on Tesla's $875,000 design contract for the White Star sedan to gain access to confidential design information and trade secrets, according to media reports. Afterward, Fisker announced the Karma, a competing vehicle."

I thought White Star was supposed to be a an affordable electric sedan, unlike the Roadster? The Fisker Karma design certainly doesn't appear to be a design built for affordability.

Tesla has been an inspiring story, but the company has way over-promised and way under-delivered. I continue to wish them luck, but......

Maybe Tesla is just trying to use this lawsuit as a distraction to the lawsuit that Magna has filed against Tesla?
