They should ask for their money back if their PR firm is planting negative stories like the OP and the one mentioned in the comment you're replying to!

Its 2018, it takes lots of money to have a good online PR. It doesnt happen organically...

So your theory is that Tesla has hired a PR firm to launch a negative news campaign against themselves?

Its not negative news, its news.

Plus, if they pay a company to write a negative article, its not 'really' negative.

It might look like a negative article, but the words are to convince you that it really isnt bad.

Do you have any evidence to support that? I would argue that that scenario is way less likely than ICE / oil companies spending resources on a negative campaign givsn the current trend of negative Tesla stories making it to the national news, where as the positive ones do not to the same effect.

The absolute madmen!
