T-Online Pulls Tesla Survey After 253,000 Votes Cast From Just 2 IPs In The US
A poll set up in Germany about whether respondents would buy a Tesla is making waves.
At first, it indicated a consumer shift away from the brand, and then it mysteriously flipped.
It appears that over 250,000 votes came from just two IP addresses in the U.S.
Tesla and Elon Musk are under the microscope these days—and it’s not just in the United States. Germany’s been taking a long, hard look at the company and its colorful CEO, with a recent online poll showing that a staggering 94 percent of Germans wouldn’t touch a Tesla with a ten-foot pole. But, surprise, surprise—just days later, the poll results started flipping, with the people behind it claiming the results might have been manipulated.

But then again this might just be first attempt at manipulation of voting results, so I'll delay posting my related opinion about past voting.
