Tesla supplier demands $250k/day ransom for parts

[HLitt]

What interesting is that Angstrom Automotive acquired Anderton Casting, LLC in early 2025. The contract with Tesla is probably with Anderton. Who knows why Angstrom acquired Anderton and the ops to shut it down. I gotta think the contract with Tesla and Anderton has exist clauses, wind down clauses, equipment ownerhship and transfer clauses, and associated penalties. There must be a serious beef between Angstrom, a large Tier 1 automotive supplier to burn a bridge with Tesla...this will not look well for Angstrom.

My hunch it will get resolved early next week. But then where will the stamping machines go and how long to setup??

Really? I'm guessing you haven't experienced driving a Cybertruck for any length of time yet? I mean, nothing else compares.

After two+ years of ownership, I would do anything, including buying used if new ones weren't available, to get my butt in the seat of another Cybertruck. I feel like I couldn't live without one (even though I rationally know that's not true).

You've seen the bumper sticker, "Life's pretty dry without a boat"? Yeah, just replace "boat" with "Cybertruck".

100% agree!

I a have a friend in NC who had his model Y battery go wonky so Tesla replaced it for free of course. They loaned him a CT for 3 days to whet his appetite. He loved the interior and ride and driving, but "hates" the looks. Eyes of the beholder! As I mentioned, if Tesla starts putting Starlink in or as an option, its even more desireable. I'm not getting any younger though!

I think Tesla and Elon need to get a judge on their side, and get a judgement against this company, and show up with a large force to recover it, along with the local law enforcement to enforce the court order

I think this is a job for David Blaine

When you lookup the owner it's not a surprise. The amount of legal cases he's been involved in. Scammer. Hopefully Tesla takes him to the cleaners.

who is the owner?
