I'm shocked that this man's blog has received the attention it did in the first place. It's a bit of an accidental straw man for any real Tesla-related concerns

I'm shocked that this man's blog has received the attention it did in the first place. It's a bit of an accidental straw man for any real Tesla-related concerns that should come up.

I think Tesla has enough controversy disrupting one of the most deeply entrenched industries on the planet. They don't really need to drum up anymore.

That's not what "straw man" means. You're probably thinking of the term "false flag". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag

In an attempt to appear balanced, the press sometimes presents an opposing viewpoint, no matter what their whacko factor or agenda. In this case, it's kind of like giving a flat earther airtime to respond to a Mars rover landing.
