    failed to show either that the alleged problems were “not generally known”

    That’s reversing the burden of proof, you can’t prove a negative.

    Also this:

    She also said customers could not prove that Tesla coerced them into using its services and parts simply because they had bought their vehicles in the first place.

    That’s a clear case of blaming the victim.

    It’s like that case where Elon Musk gets off, calling a rescuer a pedophile because he is butthurt. This reeks of corruption in the courts.

      Corruption or rank incompetence and ignorance of how the law works. Either way, that judge should definitely be investigated.
