> Yes, and? If that was their claim, there'd be nothing to talk about. That's not even close to reality and not intellectually honest. It's a fact that anything with "Tesla" on the headline gets clicks. A Tesla gets t-boned by another vehicle and the next day will get headlines like: "Telsa involved in a serious accident" While make/model of other accidents is never mentioned in other accidents even when there's a fatality.

    A perfect and most recent example.

    This is literally the exact opposite of what you are claiming. It doesn't "blame" anything on the Tesla; instead, it seems to be praising it for lack of damage and injury to the passengers. Is this interesting news? Not to me. But I suppose it's relevant being as how the Cybertruck is the most hyped vehicle of all-time, and there are only a handful on the road.

      Look at the framing, as if it's surprising that it's "only" a minor injury.
