Given there's no information on why Telsa Motors bought the domain, seems like click-bait to me.

  There is a little: "At some point it was inevitable that Tesla would do more than just offer cars and the TeslaMotors.com domain wasn’t representative of this growth." But yes, this is pretty obvious, and could fit in a tweet instead of a blog post.

    And of course this is just the opinion of the author, so not really even information on the domain name purchase.

      It seems like a reasonable inference. They introduced their energy storage products, then a few months later acquired the domain without "motors" in it. But they could do a better job of distinguishing between the facts and the inference.

    If the title was "Speculation on Why Telsa Bought Telsa.com" -- would you have clicked the link?

  The whole article is about why your domain should be the short, commonly spoken version of your company name, and companies that have had problems aquiring the domain of that.
