Around 10 French clients with leases on Teslas are suing the US carmaker, run by Elon Musk, because they consider the vehicles to be "extreme-right" symbols, the law firm representing them said on Wednesday.

Why? This was not something people must have expected due to it being obvious and there is also plain and obvious harm done to them.

If this is the precedent then everything becomes unexpected. You made a contract buying the car, that contract is signed in the past. Nobody cares what happens after that.

I think they are looking for an early release from the lease, not a refund on a purchase.

They explicitly did not do that.

Yeah, buying a car, not a Neo Nazi Symbol.

Let's not forget how much scummy stuff Elon is doing. It's not "only" the whole Nazi thing (which btw totally increased the chance of the car being vandalized). We know that he lied about the autopilot, which totally is something to sue about and give back a leased car.
