Motor Trend buries dramatic "Tesla wins" results in new self steering comparison

[RBowen]

I agree that the Motor Trend story seemed balanced and was not anti-Tesla.

I don't see an anti-Tesla bias here. I actually think the article gushes quite a bit over the S--if you read a bit between the lines.

I love how this test was actually pretty scientific--and it shows a clear winner.

I agree with the post above. I read the original article (I think while sitting in the waiting room at dentist's office) - I didn't get the impression of an anti-Tesla bias in the article. I think we need to guard against getting defensive about anything that has an element of criticism of Tesla in it. As a great college teacher of mine used to say, "If you're not getting criticism, it probably means you're not doing anything."

I've always considered anti-newbie bias a great vacuum in which to quietly create a superior product. Unfortunately, Tesla has only partially taken advantage of that, doing some things in a superior way, and others in a really not superior way, for instance, well, forget about it, we all know the pros and cons to some extent, and no need to rehash here. If anything, in a developing marketplace, articles like that are helpful, to give the newbies a chance to catch up. That only works if the newbies do catch up. Otherwise, it's just more bad news turned worse.
