Interesting that this important line was omitted from the LATimes article:
“Despite the problems, [CONSUMER REPORTS] data show that Tesla owner satisfaction is still very high: Ninety-seven percent of owners said they would definitely buy their car again."
That is a direct quote from the CS article and featured in other prominent media. (1)
I get that a negative CS article could potentially influence brand perception for non-owners but seems somewhat irresponsible to report only the negative side of the story especially when the Tesla LITERALLY ranked #1 in Consumer Reports 2014's Automotive Satisfaction.

- Zelphyr 11y agoThis is why I no longer consume mainstream media news. They ALL have an agenda and that is either to scare you or make you angry. And they obviously don't care about lying by omission in order to garner views.
- jegutman 11y agoThe scare people is bad, and immediately feels like worse reporting than the "makes you angry kind", but in the long run I'm much more concerned by the trend of news consumption heading towards the "makes me angry" kind. It can't be good for overall mental health.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoIt can't be good for the health of society either. All those little anger-inducing tweaks add up, shaping national sentiments and thus voting patterns.
