They claim that the Cybertruck, which was chronically delayed, was actually "rushed to market" to "beat competition," and use that to make a comparison to a flawed vehicle from the 70s. Flawed because it had a misplaced gas tank. Nowhere in this do they cite any evidence that the Cybertruck was indeed rushed, nor do they support any claim that the Cybertruck might have a misplaced... battery.
Then they go on, incorrectly (which they've since corrected), to claim the vehicle hasn't been crash-tested. It has. But to counteract that reality, the author points out that Tesla hasn't released any of its own safety data. I'm not aware of any car company releasing private safety data — nor would I put any stock in such data. That's exactly why we have independent regulators.
I know everyone has bills to pay, MotherJones included. I understand "Elon's Cybertrucks" is just too juicy a headline not to publish. But please at least try to make a coherant argument next time.
