This NY Times article reports that Tesla Motors, the Silicon Valley maker of electric sports cars, filed suit in San Mateo Superior Court on Monday against a competing company and two of its employees, alleging theft of Tesla’s design ideas and trade secrets.
"The Tesla lawsuit states that before doing the design work for Tesla, Mr. Fisker had no experience with hybrid technology. It says that he did substandard work for Tesla, essentially sabotaging it, and then used the revenue from the design contract to develop his company’s car."
Coincidentally, only today i came upon this post in Autobloggreen which reports that this time, Telsa was on the receiving end of a law suit. Here Telsa is the one being sued for damages and what appears to be breach of contract. Seems like troubled times ahead for Telsa.
