        I just don’t understand why so many people shit on the companies, customers and employees for something a borderline retarded CEO says or does.

          I mean, probably because musk has been so insufferable and publicly injects himself into the DNA of his brands. Musk and Tesla are deeply intertwined.

          I think walmart and Google overall are worse than Tesla, but Sam Walton and the Google CEO I’d have to… ahem, Google, don’t slather their ids all over every aspect of those companies. That had the sense to keep their mouths shut and not hog the spotlight

      I mean wouldn’t any article about Tesla build quality come off as a hit piece due to how shit the build quality is?

      They ain’t doing anything good in there.

        Sure, if the only thing they were talking about was just the build quality. However they didn’t decide to stop there, nor in my opinion, did they keep it professional at all. The article reads more like the opinion piece of someone who’s got a personal vendetta against tesla or the ceo rather than someone judging a vehicle on its quality of construction.
