What's wrong with it being a hit piece?
Are we supposed to stop caring about acceleration problems because Toyota had one?
Should journalists have decided not to write about this at all?
- 1970-01-01 3y agoIt doesn't belong on HN!! Note the article and the HN headline are not the same!
- yareal 3y agoIf it's of intellectual interest, it belongs here. A tech company failing to deliver for some reason is of interest. Tesla stopping deliveries is as interesting as cloudflare dropping traffic or aws down time.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoThe title was just changed, so now it can stay. The submitted title with many upvotes was "Tesla Cybertruck Production Halted Due to Unintended Acceleration Editorializing a title is frowned upon for a good reason! https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- yareal 3y agoYou said the article doesn't belong on HN, I'd say it clearly does. The title has been fixed.
- smt88 3y agoThe "editorialized" title was factual, unemotional, and more specific than the article's title. It's fine to say it violated guidelines, but it didn't transform this post into a hit piece. Other publications used an almost-identical title: https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-hit-with-stop-sale-because-of-unintend-1851409651 https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-hit-with-stop-sale-bec...
