As a Tesla shareholder, the problem is, I trust some of "the media." I don't trust cleantechnica. I have read far too many Seeking Alpha articles to even pretend like I am able to parse out these numbers on my own. What am I to do?

The easy answer is to stop investing in individual stocks and buy index funds. Stock picking is hard enough when you can read financial statements. Media-driven stock picking is rarely successful long-term.

You could always hedge and sell half your shares. There’s not much extra info to be parsed here; the market price reflects all publicly available information. The question is whether you’re comfortable with a high-risk bet, or think you’ve understood something about the risk landscape that most others haven’t :) This is completely plausible.
