Is what you raise relevant? Is it fine if everybody does it? Is the leak not real because you found a link to it on an unimpartial site?

Edit:spelling



The leak can be real, but the narrative around the leak is important.

My read from this link to a story about a story:

~1000 crashes related to autopilot reported for the 2.6 million autopilot enabled vehicles shipped in the reported time frame.

.04% total failures. How many of these were user created and not the fault of the car? How many of the failures from the car were specific to that cars hardware vs the software? Was it a Tesla hardware failure or an OEM device failure?

I’m not gonna do a full analysis, but whenever I re contextualize myself on car crash statistics I am reminded that Tesla failures represent an insignificant fraction of all failures.


I think you meant 'biased' and not 'impartial'. I am not being pedantic; I don't want your sentence to have the wrong meaning so I am bringing it to your attention if that is the case.


Oh no thanks! it was a typo, added un at the begining.


The report being on a site with a bias does make me want to read with a more critical eye, as everything is being spun to look as bad as possible.

The behaviour described (not wanting anything written) might very well be standard operating procedure with any company with decent legal counsel. If it is common behaviour, it is not some sort of Muskism, part of his evil scheming as is implied in the article, instead it is a reflection of the world we live in.


If you can find the same information to corroborate then no, but if it's the only source...

But it is one of those trends that I personally do not like either where these posts are made like it's a personal conversation between two girlfriends or whatever. There's opinion pieces and then there's this kind of I don't even know what it's called I'm so un-hip
