Model X Owner Refuses To Take Responsibility In Crash - Launches Smear Campaign In Retaliation

Last week, we reported on a Model X owner suing Tesla after he crashed his vehicle through his garage and into his living room. Ji Chang Son claims that when pulling into his garage, his Model X accelerated autonomously and caused the crash.

The company claimed that Son, a singer and actor in South Korea, threatened to use his celebrity status in the country to affect the company right when it is about to launch in the market unless Tesla would make a financial payment and admit that the accident was the fault of the vehicle.

The actor didn’t deny that and it looks like he actually followed through with the threat since he has been on a media blitz in Korea since filing the lawsuit in California last Friday.

Since you are profiling, should we add other skin color and other stereotypes.

Good thing that we all know humans don't make mistakes, therefore it MUST be the car's fault. </sarcasm>

The amount of alcohol consumed by a typical guy in South Korea is mindblowing. I had a salesguy working for me in Seoul who we called sprinklerhead. He would consume several bottles of Scotch each night, and sleep in the office or his car. He would shower in the office each morning, stagger around for a few hours sweating straight through his suit. Just soaked. Sprinklerhead would want to do it all over again EVERY night. I'd bet this Korean guy was hammered when he trashed his Tesla. Just like my salesrep - 12 hours each day.
