I can't be the only one who is tired of seeing news media digging at Tesla constantly. No other car manufacture is treated the same way.

Maybe because no other car manufacturer is managed the same way.

  VW’s management isn’t exactly stellar either, and they’re the ones who got caught.

Same with Elon. News sites know articles about him bring views so there is a new article edit him every other day. At this point I just don’t care what stupid thing he’s done this week.

A lot of hype, and a very public CEO intentionally driving said hype, can have that side effect. In a sense so, I know at least one former POTUS who was also treated worst of all other throughoit history. Both claims have equal merit to them.

No other manufacturer went out of their way to put cameras everywhere and to record from them to employee chats where they make memes and share videos of peoples “intimate moments.” If GM got caught doing that I’d be ragging on them too. Tesla is an inanimate object, not some person with feelings that need to be protected.

There are articles about Toyota, Ford, and GM having data breaches if you search for them. The difference with this one is the kind of data exposed. It's not just user location data, it appears to be some malfeasance by the company itself, an attempt to cover up issues. There is likely something real here.

Tesla could rebrand as a boring car manufacturer and do away with their insanely high market cap (relative to other auto makers) and stop claiming to be a tech company with disruptive technology. They could do that and they’d be treated like any other car company. But Tesla won’t because “disruption” and “innovation” is why people like Tesla. I think it’s stilly to consider Tesla a victim of news media. Tesla welcomes this. Free advertising. Free PR.

I am tired of Tesla lying about its vehicles being capable of "driving themselves" and selling a "Full Self-Driving" product that is anything but - preying on the public's ignorance and substantially harming public safety. I am dog tired of that. No, other automakers are definitely not saints... but Tesla has embraced uniquely extreme wrongdoings throughout its history and this Handelsblatt story (which is still coming out in stages) fits Tesla like a glove.

Yes they are, when they screw up. Chevy Corvair "unsafe at any speed" Ford Pinto gas tank ruptures Toyota uncontrolled acceleration Volkswagen diesel scandal I'm sure there are many others.

Elon is particularly stupid though. The other ones dont take features out that are good like parking sensors. The other ones don't say that sensor fusion doesn't work. Tesla deserves even more shit than it gets from the media.
