I've been following Tesla news fairly closely for maybe 18 months. This kind of misinformation-based article happens regularly. The combined forces of big oil and big auto have considerable sway over certain kinds of news organisation. Remember that Tesla spends $0 on advertising with them.

And then you have the billions invested by those who are short the stock.

That's a powerful coalition of forces going all in on discrediting Tesla any way they can.

In fairness, there's too much fanboy stuff in the opposite direction too.

But overall, from my reading, Tesla appears to have some serious structural advantages over all other comers in the expanding EV market.
