In the comments on these kinds of articles you'll always see the opposite of the Tesla denial machine: otherwise intelligent and well-educated people who for some reason believe that only Teslas catch fire and that internal combustion engines never burn up.

Sometimes I wonder if these are submarine articles paid for by companies who want Tesla to fail. And it might be working... Musk seems a moment away from snapping completely.

Isn't there a large group of investors who have shorted Tesla to the tune of billions who might be very motivated to see bad Tesla headlines and anti Tesla social media? How far would they be willing to go?

TL;DR: Far.
