Tesla knowingly gave customers defective cars
The first Tesla Model S, released in 2012, had a tendency to lose seal in the battery cooling system, which could lead to a fire. The company knew about the problem, but still supplied the cars to customers, according to Business Insider.
This was a critical moment for Tesla. The company tried not to be late with the start of Model S sales. If this had happened, the company would not have been able to attract additional investments and would most likely go bankrupt.
During preparation for production, it turned out that some aluminum parts in the battery cooling system do not have sufficient strength and can break. In this case, the coolant gets into the batteries, causing them to corrode and destroy, and ultimately short circuit and fire.

Tesla subsequently updated the software of the earlier cars, reducing the load on the batteries and reducing the range. At the same time, the batteries themselves were upgraded, and the problem was eliminated.
