Yeah, it's typical of Elektrec to interpret anything Tesla-related in the worst light.

I personally fact checked articles about "Autopilot disengages milliseconds before collision" and the one related to Benavides v. Tesla case.

In the first case they jumped to conclusions. In the second case they "forgot" to mention any details that contradict their narrative: that there were two cases separated by years, that the police has received all the information they needed in the first case, that the driver was pressing the accelerator.

My understanding is Fred (Electrek) has been nothing but negative about Tesla since he got upset that they haven't released the roadster yet. Something to do with having enough referral points to get one. It has become his whole identity and it is sad to see.

Pretty sure those comments are tongue in cheek. And it’s not that he’s dying to buy one, Tesla owes him one, and doesn’t have to fulfill it by never making any

HN audience loves to undermine one of the only places actually objectively calling out the mega corps

I wouldn't speculate about his reasons, but many of his articles are objectively bad journalism.

I havent seen an article on that site be remotely positive to tesla in a long time if ever. Its weird, the obsession with Tesla hating.

he also sold all is tesla stock, so I assume there is some incentive too feel better in case tesla fails.
