I've honestly never heard any story pushed as much as are the Tesla ones. Maybe it's just there isn't as venomous anti-following attached to other manufacturers as there is to Tesla.
Tesla deliberately seeks out media attention, so Tesla stories attract more attention. Live by the sword, die by the sword, and all that.
Tesla also does not pay media a dime. All the other auto manufacturers do via auto ads, in hundreds of $ per vehicle sold. Some also own newspapers directly!
Publishers will do everything to favor their paying customers and make the others interested in getting more favorable coverage.
Here, watch some Tesla ads and be happy:
