Tesla's attorney wants me to stop making charging adapters

[mspohr]

The letter looks rather vague to me. Maybe I'll write a letter back asking for clarification. Adding the disclaimer that I'm not affiliated with Tesla is a good idea - I have just added that today.

As it's been requested, here's the "exhibit A" (click it to enlarge):

The Tesla logo at the top is a big no-no. Makes it look like an official Tesla site.
You need your own logo and lots of words prominently displayed which clearly state that you are not affiliated with Tesla.

I think that is a scan of the Tesla letterhead sent by the Tesla attorney.

Dude, you need a lawyer. Do not try to just handle this on your own.

Tesla shop may not have some adapters ready in the inventory. Communications/shipping timeliness may be poor at Tesla shop. Some owners just want to bypass the hassles and pay more instead.

Asking the OP. I doubt that it is worth it for him. $60 on ebay for genuine parts is still less than the $85 he is asking and ebay is an established sales channel. He needs to manufacture and advertise.

He also sells adapters for plugs that Tesla doesn't support.

Its sort of like Apple's $999 monitor stand. Sure, it makes total sense when you put it in context, but not a good p/r move.
