As logical and likely your reasoning, it's still not fair to assume the worst until the dust settles. There's certainly the chance that this unfortunate event is the result of owner ignorance, either willful or clueless. Regardless, it's a setback for GM primarily but the entire EV community will suffer collateral damage.
I value your many thoughtful and intelligent contributions over the years and this is not pointed at you specifically but we should respond to half baked articles as we would if the shoe were on the other foot. I've been guilty just as much as the next guy and will try harder but the gloating from the other side during Tesla's struggles just a few years ago was ugly, disgusting, childish, irresponsible, tribal, slanderous, jealous, inciteful, erroneous and frustrating. I've been on the receiving end of that as hard as it is to not throw it back now that Tesla has proven them all wrong, I certainly would hate to be a reflection of that garbage.
This community and forum on a whole has shown to be above that.
Remember the mission.
