Yes, and? If that was their claim, there'd be nothing to talk about.
Instead, we have all kinds of wild claims, from rocket cars to full-self-driving to amphibious trucks to battery swaps. None of which exist.
That's not even close to reality and not intellectually honest. It's a fact that anything with "Tesla" on the headline gets clicks. A Tesla gets t-boned by another vehicle and the next day will get headlines like:
"Telsa involved in a serious accident" While make/model of other accidents is never mentioned in other accidents even when there's a fatality.
You're just making things up.
We are talking about very specific claims in this thread.

Show me this article.
Here's one on our very own Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38806707
Also incidents blaming autopilot get hundreds of upvotes and comments blaming Tesla, and when it turns out months after police investigation of that incident that Autopilot wasn't involved, that article never gets upvotes.
When it's bad news about a different car brand, we just get a headline like this talking about an "electric vehicle". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38741228
Same with recalls, Tesla's software update recalls are given disproportionate attention, and don't mention it's a software recall in the headline.
It doesn't "blame" anything on the Tesla; instead, it seems to be praising it for lack of damage and injury to the passengers.
Is this interesting news? Not to me. But I suppose it's relevant being as how the Cybertruck is the most hyped vehicle of all-time, and there are only a handful on the road.
I made all of these headlines up?

Find me the same amount of headlines where another make/model of the vehicle involved in a serious accident is mentioned on the headline itself.
