That's why it's called a test track, duh! You clearly didn't read what I wrote and the link to The Grauniad. The morons who are telling children to run in front of speeding Teslas are not doing this on any test track.

The morons who are telling children to run in front of speeding Teslas are not doing this on any test track. I read the first line, that was enough The moron is the person who gets suckered into believing click bait on YouTube which then makes it into print in the Guardian, shame on the journo who has nothing better to do with her time than watch crank YouTube video's and shame on the Guardian too. The columnist is a strategist and clearly her strategy is to noble Tesla/Musk. She even tries to disguise what she's doing by writing at the very end, "let me just say: this isn’t a hit piece". No, of course it isn't Arwa, why ever would we think that! It's a bit like you saying you're fair balanced and objective in your assessments of Tesla & Musk, I can see how you were attracted to what she wrote!

Ponder a moment the question, why do so many people like to bash Tesla and Elon Musk, even seemingly normal and allegedly intelligent people. According to the world-renowned journal, Motor Biscuit, (ahem) one possible answer, according to the journal, is that Tesla doesn't have a marketing budget and doesn't advertise in traditional ways. Because it doesn't spend loadsamoney on advertising with the papers, the editors think Musk and Tesla is fair game, unlike the revenue-producing counterparts at the big car companies who would quickly spend their advertising bucks elsewhere if ever a bad word was written about them. A reasonable and likely assumption I reckon. Then there are the dramatic headline incidents. "Take, for example, the concern about Tesla EVs catching fire. Though such incidents have occurred, the truth is that Tesla vehicles are much less likely to ignite than traditional gas-powered cars. So to blame the company for these incidents without noting what’s going on with other manufacturers could be considered problematic". "Similarly, Tesla’s self-driving capabilities have received a good deal of criticism for supposedly overpromising and underdelivering. But the company makes clear in its materials that the technology has certain limits and that drivers must take the necessary precautions when using it. If drivers fail to use the technology properly, this logic goes, they are the ones responsible for accidents that occur as a result of employing it incorrectly". I wasn't around at the time but I'm certain that the newspaper headlines of the day were equally as damning when motorised vehicles first hit the street and Ford et al were labelled as dangers to society for putting such dangerous machines in the hands of innocent everyday people, they must have had a field day after the first few pedestrians were killed. And then there's Musk himself, "Of course, some people’s disdain for Tesla is based on their dislike of the company’s leader, Elon Musk. Whether they disapprove of his politics or his enormous fortune, these people find they cannot support a company whose profits benefit a man many see as already excessively wealthy and entitled. For those critics, any attempt to demonstrate the more positive side of Tesla and its technology will likely prove fruitless". Finally, there's the most likely option and that is that some people always resist change, in the 1800's they were called Luddites, today they're called influencers, concerned citizens, analysts and lots of other impressive names. As a bit of a motorhead myself I have sympathy with the view that the whine of a Tesla doesn't even come close to the throaty roar of a 327 with headers and a four-barrel. As a younger man it was not uncommon to assist chums and help replace a big block in a Chevy SS or similar, it's hard to imagine the same thing today and ask that they lend a hand to replace a battery in an EV! Despite that, I welcome EV's because of what they won't do to the environment and the planet in the longer term. It's just a shame that we have to throw obstacles in front of people who are trying to develop these things and demoralise them at the same time. www.motorbiscuit.com/elon-musk-knows-tesla-hate/

"Tesla's stock has been on an electrifying run this summer, and it may not yet be over. Shares of the EV maker are up 12% in the last three months, handily outperforming the S&P 500's nearly 5% decrease over that time.Wall Street credits the push higher in Tesla shares to optimism around new government legislation that will support the adoption of EVs in 2023 and beyond. Tesla's strong execution in the first two quarters of the year has also won over the bears. Goldman's investment thesis on Tesla"We believe that Tesla, given its leadership position in EVs (including its vertical integration and tight coupling of hardware and software, as well as its ecosystem of charging stations and brand), and its focus on clean transportation more broadly (given its solar and storage businesses) is well positioned to capitalize on the long-term shift to EVs. We expect Tesla to expand margins in the intermediate term as it ramps the important Model Y product as well as new factories in Berlin, Germany and Austin, Texas, and in the long-term as it increases its mix of software revenue." finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-stock-goldman-sachs-183413023.html

I don't know what you thought was interesting about the article, I read it twice and thought it was about as interesting as a ball of fluff under the bed! Mostly I thought that the writer doesn't know how to write so what ever is he doing writing columns in a broad sheet. But wait, this is no ordinary automotive industry literary giant, he's an academic giant as well. "John Naughton is professor of the public understanding of technology at the Open University". Whoa, I wonder how many people in the UK wake up and decide that they must take a course on public understanding of technology, this fella must be rushed off his feet. And he's also, "the author of From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg: What You Really Need to Know About the Internet", all in all a true motor industry expert, snigger snigger. Of course you can see the the very clear link that qualifies him to be an expert on the subject of Tesla. Tesla's contains chips and microcomputers which contain software and firmware, the word software contains the letter O, as does the authors first and last name.......close enough, you're hired, write something for us.

Only need to look where the article came from, Fruit Loops Daily. Very surprised that the fount of all knowledge here on Big Mango resorted to such a source as opposed to his own intellectual resources.
Ah well, there's nowt so queer as folk.

The article is simple one Tesla owner's personal reflection upon owning the car. I've never owned a Tesla, so have no personal experience to draw upon. I found the article illuminating, specifically:
- the poor build quality (fragile paintwork, body panels not fitting together well) - poor post sales service - failure to grow service centres to meet demand

And one man's personal inexpert experience of buying anything is worth reporting in a major Sunday broadsheet....I don't think so
