>Let's remove Musk from the equation, because you can like or (most probably) hate him

OP doesn't make any implication about Musk at all, his name is only mentioned in passing.

>I own a Tesla and I have the opposite experience.

This is not a useful contribution.

Obviously there are many satisfied Tesla customers. No one doubts this.

The point of an article like this is to bring to light just how bad a Tesla experience can be. Not a tiny bit bad, but really miserable and expensive.

You are replying to an anecdotal blog post to say that a comment that is just an anecdote is not a useful contribution?

You think it's useful to have a blog post to reveal the shocking truth that mass manufactured products aren't 100% reliable? A lemon could be produced by any auto manufacturer and the customer could have the same experience

TFA was a detailed explanation of a specific and complex failure. The comment was essentially "works for me", which, compared to that, was not useful.
OP did mention Musk in the last paragraph of the blog post.
