There‘s a huge difference between getting something wrong in an article and "fake news". Could we please at least try to have nuanced discussions around this topic or news in general?

They didn't get a small detail wrong, they published an entire article based on a completely fabricated news story. What would you call that?
Well here we go. That‘s not even remotely true. And even if they did, what you somehow think the did, why didn't Tesla sue for libel? You know that there‘s a huge legal risk for Reveal, which means that an army of lawyer is waterproofing every single sentence of such reports? Reveal has literally nothing to win by fabricating a report of this magnitude. They‘re one of the most prestigious investigativ non-profits in the US. So no.
