    Arbitrary actions are arbitrary.

    I’m not terrified by that, just disgusted.

    My guess is that the ulterior motive is to protect Tesla. Their competitors almost all offer better quality, and increasingly there are entrants to the market that produce those higher-quality vehicles at far lower cost. Musk seems unable or unwilling to take corrective actions, instead trying to buy the regulators.

      It’s not arbitrary, as your second paragraph suggests there are other reasons. Someone didn’t pay off the administration. It really is like that.
