Why do people post "news" from 4 years ago? News mostly isn't relevant a few weeks later; it would make sense if their was some follow up story or something about this. Even weirder is how people comment on this story like it just happened, did anyone actually check to see if this is still the case 4 years later?
- LegitShady 4y agopopular to attack Tesla at the moment
- JaimeThompson 4y agoIt would be less popular it Tesla had leadership that lead by example instead of dictate and if they stopped making promises they can't execute on year after year.
- LegitShady 4y agothat's not why a lot of the attacks on tesla are happening - the twitter acquisition and elon being political on twitter have opened him up to lots of people attacking his companies.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoTesla is very divisive, a lot of people get a sense of power and superiority by posting anything that makes them look bad. The subtext is "See? I'm smarter than you by hating Tesla." This isn't exclusive to Tesla.
- influxmoment 4y ago100%. Tesla hating brings out the crazy
- ShamelessC 4y agoLet me guess, you drive a Tesla.
- barkingcat 4y agothere are also those folks who don't know large pieces of current events and keep surfacing 10 year ago news as actual news (and treat it as occurring now).
- digisign 4y agoThings like this don't tend to change without force of law. Do you have proof that it has?
- ddtaylor 4y agoI think it's historically interesting and people often miss stories from years ago.
- pvg 4y agoThere was a big Tesla quality and safety problems story yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31610950 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31610950 And there's one every week or two.

- ddtaylor 4y agoI think a lot of people had a lot of interesting things to add in the comments section here overall.
- pvg 4y agoYou can look at any of these threads and it's basically the same stuff. It's not because it's not interesting but because it's pretty easy to exhaust most of the interesting things to say about the same topic.

- pvg 4y agoJust flag it. The meta inadvertently helps make it a worse thread on top of a bad post.
- Dylan16807 4y ago> Why do people post "news" from 4 years ago? News mostly isn't relevant a few weeks later This is just a report on something they do, not a specific event or a revelation. It's not the kind of "news" that stops being relevant. It's equally relevant every year unless something changes.
- fivestarman 4y agoMaybe there are a lot of people like me that never saw the article? Maybe that's part of the reason.
