How much does it suck to be Volkswagen right now? They got the short end of the stick after an incident on the autobahn became sweet media opportunity for their younger and sexier competitor Tesla.
Some not awesome but hopefully okay person suffered a stroke inside their VW sedan, foot to the floor, blasting down the autobahn like it was a bumper bowling lane. Then, some astute, no doubt Christoph Waltz like Tesla drive swiftly passed the car and used his cunning skills to bring both cars to a stop. Jalopnik has the full scoop.
Tesla CEO and all around good guy Elon Musk (all Praise and Glory to The Leader) was so moved by the bravery demonstrated by the Tesla driving man that he decided to provide, “all repair costs free of charge and expedited.”
In appreciation, Tesla is providing all repair costs free of charge and expedited. https://t.co/D68HNJcCoQ

You are witnessing greatness right now—-precise German driving and inspirational leadership. This is of course very bullish for $TSLA.
No word on whether Volkswagen intends to repair the Passat.
The heroic driver will be back on the road, free of charge, and fast, because he purchased a vehicle from the best company in the world. Good times.
