> Show me this article.

Here's one on our very own Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38806707

Also incidents blaming autopilot get hundreds of upvotes and comments blaming Tesla, and when it turns out months after police investigation of that incident that Autopilot wasn't involved, that article never gets upvotes.

When it's bad news about a different car brand, we just get a headline like this talking about an "electric vehicle". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38741228

Same with recalls, Tesla's software update recalls are given disproportionate attention, and don't mention it's a software recall in the headline.

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.

A perfect and most recent example.
