You must have read a different article than I. 1. Every manufacturer will point out that extreme conditions affect the performance and life of a car. I don't remember Tesla marketing the Model S as an off-road vehicle. I think it is fair for then to point out how different the driving conditions where in this case. 2. Cooperating with federal regulators is what we want, right? NHTSA hasn't opened even a preliminary investigation. Surely the agency talks with car manufacturers on a regular basis. 3. "When [we discount or conduct the repair for free] we sometimes ask our customers to sign a “Goodwill Agreement.” The basic point is to ensure that Tesla doesn’t do a good deed, only to have that used against us in court for further gain. [...] this agreement never even comes close to mentioning NHTSA or the government and it has nothing to do with trying to stop someone from communicating with NHTSA or the government about our cars. We have absolutely no desire to do something like that." 4. What? How are you even pulling that from the article. The fourth point was about Tesla's record of addressing safety concerns before customers experience problems. 5. First, they never said he was the owner of the car, but maybe that's obvious of you read his blog. But if that is true, then Tesla didn't expose him, he already exposed himself. Second, I didn't see any addresses or SSNs in the article, so you are exaggerating to the point of lying at this point.
