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.
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
