yet another tesla hit piece from russ mitchell and the la times.
is it just me or does the la times drag tesla at every opportunity? could it be because the owner of the la times, patrick soon shiong, has a company called nantenergy that seeks to compete with tesla? at a minimum, there’s a conflict of interest.
and, kind of a tangent, but where are the articles about the thousands of lives lost due to the incompatibility of trucks/suvs and sedans in crashes actually causing thousands of lives lost per year?
- carabiner 5y agoI'm pretty neutral on Tesla/Musk, but I looked at this guy's (Russ Mitchell) writing history and it appears to be an unhealthy fixation on Tesla. His Twitter, and almost every article he writes, is about bashing Tesla. It's like he has real personal beef with Musk, a person he's probably never met.

- asdff 5y agoThey are kind of the big cheese of the EV space and you could argue people relentlessly bash Tesla here too. Maybe there is something to these critiques of the company, rather than everyone and anyone just having an axe to grind.
