The leeks are cut again! Tesla rights activists raised 5 yuan to pull banners and ran away after receiving the money
On October 26, it was reported that Tesla suddenly announced a big price cut for the domestic Model 3 and Y, which triggered the collective rights protection of car owners. Unless car owners collectively go to Tesla stores to block the door, they must discuss the price reduction. Immediately, car owners set up a rights protection group to jointly negotiate the next step of rights protection, but the fraudsters took the opportunity to cut another wave of leeks.
The group chat records exposed by netizens show that a group owner of a rights protection group launched a campaign for car owners to crowdfund 5 yuan and pull a banner in the group. Friends revealed that the amount involved was 1,000 yuan. There are also car owners in the group who complained, “The owner of the leek car is really miserable. The 28,000 yuan cut was not enough, and he was cut for 5 yuan.”
At present, some car owners suggest to report to the police first, but according to the usual practice, it is estimated that it is difficult to return the 5 yuan that was harvested to the wallets of these car owners. I also remind all car owners who want to protect their rights to clearly identify the ways and methods of rights protection.
In addition, what is even more interesting is that some people have even started a business as a Tesla owner. The chat records exposed by netizens show that the Dongguan area serves rights-defense car owners: helping with banners for 500 yuan an hour, shouting for 200 yuan, photography for 200 yuan, and rolling on the ground for 600 yuan per hour.
