> Their critics are very loudly proclaiming Tesla is an immense failure, that the Model 3 is a failure, and that they're going bankrupt in a matter of months.

This is a classic straw man. You've created a fictional persona which you then describe as:

> The FUD being broadly directed at Tesla is astounding and reeks of bias of one sort or another.

How about we stick to what other posters you're replying to are actually saying rather than creating fictional personas in order to then attack them.

I wasn't attacking the parent or implying that was their bias.

I intentionally structured the response as a point about the extremely wide-spread criticism being directed at Tesla.

This: "The FUD being broadly directed at Tesla"

I inserted "broadly" for exactly that reason. I also intentionally avoided using "you" or similar (re-read what i actually wrote, you should instantly notice my reply is clearly not targeting the parent just based on what words I use), so as to hopefully avoid leading anyone to think I was claiming the parent was the source of that FUD.

I don't know what you are talking about re:FUD.

I'm neutral on Tesla both emotionally and financially and have no skin in this game, but I can say that TSLA bears have a very compelling case on their hands, with numbers, future projections, industry comparisons, etc. It's not often bear position is so well reasoned. In fact, TSLA bulls are much more often "selling the dream".

I would agree with the parent, as a laymen casually observing HN and the major news outlets this is really what it feels like, a complete shift in news/commentator opinions of Tesla.
