What isn’t factual about that?

  The snark is unbecoming of a journalist presenting facts about an event that really happened. Apparently, blind hatred for someone can excuse an awful lot of illicit behavior...

    I mean it's SFGATE, which is more of a blog than proper journalism (they used to be associated with the SF Chronicle, but the two split a few years ago). The AP story [1] that they based their post on strikes a more professional tone: > Messages were left Wednesday seeking comment from Tesla, which has disbanded its public relations department.

    It's purely factual, just not formal, and your allegation of 'blind hatred' seems hyperbolic. It's odd to me how the tech community celebrates iconoclasm and disruption when things are going well but retreats into formalities when they're not. It seems more unbecoming to me to keep marketing and selling a system called 'autopilot' without responding to the very reasonable criticism that it has a rather dubious safety record - 'According to AP News, “at least 15 Teslas have crashed into emergency vehicles nationwide while using the system.”' I don't have fine-grained accident statistics for emergency vehicles year by year, but that seems disproportionately high for a somewhat niche brand.

    It didn't say anything not rooted in fact. You can't please everyone.
