It's amazing to me how there are so many Tesla Stan's on HN that any time any article gets posted that is in any way critical of Musk or Tesla it immediately gets flagged and booted from the site.

These articles are often inaccurate or misleading.

I'm not suggesting Tesla is beyond reproach (in fact I believe in the importance of high accuracy of criticism, so we can focus on the bad things that matter), but negative Tesla news does attract clicks, so it shouldn't be surprising that the quality of negative Tesla news tends to be lower than the quality of positive or neutral Tesla news.

Where "high quality positive news" is a tweet of a drone video, and "low quality negative news" is an LA Times article about ridiculous racism at Tesla.
The words you're putting in my mouth don't reflect my feelings or beliefs.

Don't put words in other people's mouths.
