I love it.

No matter who's right or wrong here, the next person to review a Tesla will think twice before going about the usual raised-pinky bullshit write-up.

I love this whole episode, irrespective of who's right or wrong for so many reasons.

A CEO pin pointing bullshit (alleged) to such a degree and tech/auto journalism getting a nice dose of facts.

I think a more likely outcome is that the next person will think twice about reviewing a Tesla at all.
People keep saying this, but there's no way that's the outcome.

People review Teslas because there's a market for the reviews. That market has only increased.

Rather than fewer reviews, it's virtually certain there will be more than there would have been otherwise.

Reviewers will, however, be far more careful with the details they report, and that's good for everyone.
