This is the 10th time this has been posted - almost all posts have had double-digit comments, four of which reached the front page (from memory). It's getting very annoying.
At the risk of spitting into the wind - yes, Tesla is treated differently. That is by both actual Tesla owners, who love their cars and autopilot (Tesla has the highest brand and highest satisfaction score from owners) and are mad at the media drivel that has poured out since day 1 (see #TSLAQ and Niedermeyer). They get irrationally defensive due to the flame wars, but also because they also believe that this is just the latest version of the attacks on Tesla and SpaceX that were just as vitriolic but more out of the public limelight before those companies "steamrolled" their competition.
But then there are also the critics, who think little of what SpaceX and Tesla have done, make up shit (again, see #TSLAQ and Niedermeyer, as well as Biden's "GM is leading the EV revolution" comments), but also have legitimate concerns about Elon.

Asking because after all the fanfare I set foot in one and it's the same experience you had getting in a 2003 Mercedes E-Klasse. If anything the 2003 E-Klasse makes you feel like you are surrounded by opulence during your ride, while Teslas are empty inside and the materials are so crooked and cheap. Can't comment on the space thing because it's so far removed from the daily use of everyday people that it's basically entertainment for nerds, like Chess or Bridge.
