Elon Musk has made headlines again with his unconventional requests, including asking people to break door mirrors off their Tesla cars. The billionaire CEO has a history of controversy with critics like the author, who previously reviewed one of his early models on Top Gear in 2008. During that review, the writer accurately described the car’s issues with reliability and performance. Musk responded by suing for defamation, claiming the writer had a personal vendetta against electric cars. However, Musk lost the lawsuit. The latest demand has sparked both amusement and frustration among Tesla owners and enthusiasts.
