When it comes to Tesla or Cybertruck, I have completely lost trust in the main stream media. Here’s a little trick I do to stay sane - I just interpret the complete opposite of what the author is saying. It brings my blood pressure and stress significantly down! ?
That means you went to read FoxNews ?

Where/when I grew up (Michigan) there were ABC, NBC, and CBS, and they basically reported the same news. I do not recall opinions until after the 80s. My guess is that the internet helped bring it on.
There was a law that required them all to be balanced.

That went away in the 80s.

Also, that law never applied to cable (which is why HBO showed R rated movies) or internet.

At the end you can give your feedback as a CT owner. We should do a test, send a few bad and a few good and see what ones get a response.
Or you can just post your feedback in the comment section after the article.

This popped up in my phone's news section, can't say I am surprised, but--- it's a pretty funny read when you know the reality.
The first time I read, "This pooped up my phone's news section". ?

LOL yeah I answered that inquiry and of course was positive. I doubt they will reach out. The comments are ridiculous on that article and unfortunately I can't help myself from commenting/replying. I was warned that going down the rabbit hole with the naysayers would be a bad idea and I'm starting to see why. It's my opinion that the owners who insult the haters aren't helping the situation.

All CNN news is blocked on my phone.
There was a time when I enjoyed CNN. Years ago I would just leave it on. What the hell happened to them! They even insult us, Cybertruck owners, and paint us as some kind of freaks for the truck we bought. GIVE ME A BREAK! 99% of the people that talk to me go out of their way to say they love what they see, and many tell me THEY LOVE ELON!!! CNN? In the immortal words of Tony Soprano, THEY"RE DEAD TO ME.

Exactly. I know this forum wants us to steer clear of p*litics. So I erased a couple of sentences and left just the one. CNN was good like 35 or 40 years ago. Now they are the leader in BS news.

I wrote some comments. It is a very caustic conversation, but so are Electrek, Teslarati, and Tesla Owners Forum and those are supposedly people that like Tesla. I think that many Americans just swallow what their favorite 'news source' tells them. It is the easy way. Sad, but easy. So maybe they swallowed what the CNN Business guy was saying.
I commented as well.
