This article contains so little information. Was probably written by an algorithm.

Hi NY Post! I'd be surprised if they have editors any more, and I doubt they have US-based staff left.

Not that Tesla's nonexistent PR department would have anything to say to a reporter who did exist

This is "news" now. They link tweets. Tweet links are news.

In this case, this one:

Except, they can't even bother to link their own tweets, and just lifted the article from

Jalaponik

https://jalopnik.com/tesla-cybertruck-owners-forum-is-alread...

which does have an editor, and they did the reporting of tracking that guy down to an owners forum for the long version.

I suppose NYPost considers their asses covered, since they added "first reported on by automotive news site Jalopnik." after one of the anecdotes they lifted.
