I guess lawsuits were inevitable.

Too much money is at stake and too many large egos are involved.

96. In an interview given to thedeal.com, published on or about November 6, 2008, Musk made disparaging and/or defamatory statements about Eberhard, alleging that Eberhard "had misled us about the cost of the car and the time frame of when it could go into production." This statement was republished on Tesla Motors' website at http://teslamotorsclub.com/news-articles-events/1833-elon-musk-q-deal.html on or about November 6,2008
We are Tesla Motors' website? Martin certainly knows the difference!

Just hope this doesn't end up in the destruction of Tesla as a side effect.

The only thing surprising about Martin Eberhard's latest move is that it took so long to happen
My first thought exactly. What took him soo long?
