> Meanwhile Lincoln sent me a “fix” for a recall that involved neither software or my car moving an inch. > “We identified an issue in your vehicles user guide that could lead to improper seat operation. Please place this piece of paper between pages 168 and 169 of your guide.” Great and perfect example, thanks for bringing that up. I searched for that issue and every single news article I could find [1] had "missing owner's manual information" or the equivalent right in the headline. Only Ford or Lincoln haters would argue that removing that information in the headline is a fair and acceptable thing to do. Are you still going to argue that Tesla is treated the same as Lincoln by the media and on HN? Is hoping for more context in the headlines a bad and unreasonable thing?

> Only Ford or Lincoln haters Your mistake here is assuming that people are comprised of "haters" and others. I couldn't care less about Lincoln. I own a Navigator. My partner drives it 99% of the time. It was just the first example that came to mind. I think Tesla's are overrated for their price - the Model S has (I haven't been in one in 18 months, to be clear) luxury euro pricing for a build quality that is in many cases worse than an econobox Hyundai or Mazda. I lean on the dash in my Audi and it doesn't bow or flex or creak or make me worried that some plastic is about to break. It did in the S. My butt fell asleep after a few hours in a Tesla passenger seat. "Do not use a car wash if the vehicle will be in direct sunlight". Windshields not glued on, at all. Entire brakes missing. Different tires on all four wheels. These aren't teething issues, Tesla is more than two decades old at this point. And doubly so when your CEO gives interviews that have him saying with a straight face, "At this point, I know more about manufacturing than any person living on the planet."

  You're just cherrypicking things, not to mention all cars have issues but only Tesla issues get magnified, so you think Tesla is worse. Propaganda works, that's why the liberals are doing what they're doing, spreading FUD about Tesla, and joining the oil lobby in it's crusade against EVs. That's why I don't consider myself a liberal anymore. E.g. A brand new CRV has issues https://www.reddit.com/r/Honda/comments/11ch594/brand_new_honda_crv_continuously_breaking_down/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Honda/comments/11ch594/brand_new_ho... If that was Tesla it would be a news story because all media hates Tesla.
