Elon Musk and Tesla lawyers think otherwise: the company filed a lawsuit against Tesla Power, an Indian company that produces lead-acid batteries. The lawsuit claims trademark infringement, even though the Indian company responds that it does not manufacture vehicles.

Meanwhile, TeslaPower.com is being sold by Afternic and Media Options owns Tesla.tv.
