Good article. Good, in-depth research by Eric Berger documenting a smear campaign.This one's about SpaceX, but I think very relevant to the attacks on Tesla:

But the truly astounding thing is that Tesla, in only about five years of seriously manufacturing automobiles, could build a car this good. That's a staggering achievement.
Wait, did I say good? I meant great.
Hold on, did I say great? Sorry, I meant greatest.
Say hello to the best car money can currently buy.
I think Wall St. is pissed because he told them he doesn't need to borrow any more money.I wonder if Tesla (or Elon) just said, one day we are going to advertise - not today, not this year, but one day - and when we do, we will remember who printed all that FUD and lies about Tesla.
Those that did will get $0 advertising dollars from Tesla, but those who print fair and balanced articles could be in for a windfall.
Would we see the narrative change if dollars were dangled in front of advertisers?
I think every main stream media outlet has spread the FUD so I'm not sure who Tesla would advertise with.
That's actually good idea. Not that Tesla will advertise any time soon.Playboy Magazine?

I am seeing many new buyers in my area who were not reservation holders. The difference here with the Model 3 vs. your AMC Pacer situation is that the Pacer was unique only in its style that was attractive to some but not all, whereas the Model 3 is different in that it is the most fun, best driving, safest car ever made.I look at a different dimension they overlooked: S and X sales. Both have increased this year. US sales of the S are about 1300 ahead of last year's sales through September and the X is way ahead of last year. Internationally the S and X are the only cars available and they are selling the bulk of production overseas.
I think the bulk of Model 3 sales today are not reservation holders but people who found out about the car closer to production or after it went into production and/or skeptics who didn't want to make a deposit until they could see what the final production was going to be and if it was going to be OK. As the Model 3 has gotten out there in the world, a lot of middle class people are getting one in their neighborhood and getting a chance to drive one, or at least see one.
I saw a documentary on the AMC Pacer and the Model 3 does have some risk of suffering from the same problem the Pacer had. The Pacer sold in record numbers the first year on the market, but then sales fell off a cliff the second year because while it really appealed to some people, they saturated that market in the first year.
I think the Model 3 is more likely to have a broader appeal across the market and the Pacer had problems, but that is a real risk Tesla faces.
