I wouldn't be surprised if this guy Ryan Felton was being paid to write negative pieces against Tesla and Uber. Go look through his articles and you'll see nothing but doom and gloom about electric cars, autonomous cars, uber, etc.

Most of his claims are backed up by "anonymous former employees" or "unnamed people familiar with the matter"

Tesla will be just fine.

That's what I was going to point out. Nearly every citation on this article is from "unnamed people familiar with the matter". What the heck does that even mean? I'm familiar with the matter now, does that mean that I get to make wild speculations?

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy digital_trench was being paid to shill for Tesla.

At the risk of feeding the trolls:

Are you making a satirical example about the emptiness of such flippant accusations, or do you actually entertain a serious possibility that GP is on the tesla payroll spreading propaganda on HN?
