A dozen French clients from Tesla consider that they can no longer lead these vehicles that have become “extreme right totems” in silence, and have assigned to the brand that their contract is terminated, their lawyers announced Wednesday.
For customer lawyers, Patrick Klugman and Ivan Terel, “due to the actions of Elon Musk (…), Tesla brand vehicles have become strong political symbols and now seem real” extremely correct totems “, to the dam of those who had acquired it only to have an innovative and ecological vehicle.”
“Tesla’s clients suffer from direct and concrete damage that prevents them from enjoying their car. These facts lead them to request the termination of their lease,” GKA’s lawyers said in a press release. They assigned the brand before the Commercial Court of Paris, requesting the termination of their lease (lasting four years in general, with the possibility of buying the vehicle at the end) and the reimbursement of legal costs. And seeks to attract other customers.
Free fall sales in Europe
Although Tesla dominated the electricity market, its sales have been almost divided by two in Europe since the beginning of 2025. This fall is attributed significantly to the positions of Elon Musk, between his work together with US President Donald Trump and his support for extreme right governments in Europe.
Tesla cars, having attracted buyers concerned with less pollutants, have become rolling symbols of musk positions, burned, attacked by boycott campaigns and insults towards their driver. Many owners have ended up setting a sticker on the back of his tesla that indicates in English: “I bought it before Elon went crazy.” “The situation is not precedent and impossible for French owners of Tesla,” Maître Klugman told AFP. “The positions of Mr. Musk have created a enjoyment disorder. We believe that Mr. Musk owes the buyer the peaceful possession of the thing sold.” Questioned on Tuesday, Tesla had not responded immediately.
And if Elon Musk has been angry from Donald Trump, “the alliance is still perfect in what is problematic,” said Patrick Klugman. “What opposes them is not racism, conspiracy, the greetings we have described as Nazis. These are the customs prices to which Musk opposes commercial reasons, and the” US federal budget, said the lawyer.
