Another day, another hit-piece: Slate

Rear Wheels Breaking Off. “Floppy Wet Noodle” Windshield Wipers. Easily Humiliated by a Subaru. This Is the Cybertruck.

It's not good reading. Many of the facts are exaggerated or wrong. Fortunately this forum was sourced sparingly, with most references linked back to Jalopnik (shocker).

Wow, what happened to Slate?

It's been a while since I read something from them.

The best way to get views from all the Tesla haters. Negativity is the best to draw people’s attention.

Funny story about Slate... They are owned by Graham Holdings, what else does Graham Holdings own?

"In July 2013, Graham Holdings purchased Forney Corp. for an undisclosed sum. The company, which is based in Addison, Texas, manufactures equipment that monitors and controls the combustion of coal, natural gas, and other materials. This equipment is sold to electric utilities for use in power generation plants."

"In January 2019, Graham Holdings acquired 90% of two automobile dealerships from Sonic Automotive. The company's latest acquisition — its fourth auto dealership to date — is located at 8820 Centreville Road in Manassas. Christopher J. Ourisman of Ourisman Automotive will operate and manage the dealership, which the Arlington holding company purchased from the Battlefield Automotive Group. Terms of the deal were not disclosed."

I wonder if this part of their reason for disdain towards Tesla.
