Tesla #speculates in #Bitcoin. They booked #cryptocurency #losses of $140 mio in 2022.
The same year, they haggled with the German #Environmental Protection Agency over a fine: Tesla was originally supposed to pay a #fine of €12 mio under the allegation of not following laws regarding battery #recycling or disposal. #Tesla applied for a review, then sued, then haggled - and got away with paying just €0.6 mio. a 95% #discount.
