So you're imagining that Tesla went to various publications and only let Motor Trend access their new product because MT consented to spread lies? What did the other media do, they turned the offer down and still keep their mouths shut about that deal? They would all have more to gain by revealing these kind of practices (since Tesla is the only company not to buy ads in the media) than publishing bullshit articles that you didn't even read or that you can't trust because... they discussed the design with the product's team. This makes no sense whatsoever.

The Business is far more mature and sophisticated than you imagine. All the kinks were worked out long before you were born. The gravy train depends absolutely on a reliably massive wave of hype, each year. Everyone knows their lines. Anyone without a sterling portfolio doesn't get hired by Motor Trend. Anyone who ever gets out of step does not make Editor. So, no, Tesla never "went to various publications". Nobody else did, either. That is not how the machine works.
