ummh... you really think Tesla's PR team didn't write that and ask the guy to sign it? implying how nicely they were going to treat him if he did? Sure, it's quite possible as a fanboy he did it totally on his own. But I wouldn't bet that way, and I have to think most people who know how the tech industry works would feel the same.

I'm guessing most Tesla owners at this point are rich, well-educated and level-headed people who are also early adopters and a fan of the car and company. It seems reasonably likely that it's genuine.

I find it unlikely that Tesla PR would attribute their cars' safety to a supernatural being.

ha, good point.

not sure if it adds to the overall credibility.

bottom line, the guy likes the car enough to write/cooperate, even after it hit a bump and burned up, how much of that is the car's greatness, rose-colored fanboi glasses, good old-fashioned working the media...unclear.
