Being German, you should know fine well that people/corporations are capable of lying. And how exactly is presenting one side of an argument with obvious bias doing "a good job". It's unethical, incomplete and flawed. If you think that's "a good job" then I guess that just highlights how low some people's expectations are for the content from so-called news organisations.
Being an englishman you should know fine well that media corporations are corrupt and capable of lying.
BI and New York Times use the same "expert" Ron Harbour as an external "source". His the only accomplishment in life is to have a father somebody like Jim Harbour, who was indeed a talented engineer and very good "integrator". What is interesting here is that BI proves to be incapable to report even basic points, for example they claimed that Ron "founded and writes “The Harbour Report,”"... Really? He does neither. He is owner of "The Harbour Report", and that's about it.
BI and NYT were reporting about massive injuries in Fremont, numerous trials and investigations about safety issues in Tesla. Both were using same sources: guys members of UAW. Was there any independent source representing other group of people? No. Did they even mentioned bad blood against UAW in Fremont and UAW unpopularity in the city? NO.
They were reporting about people being fired because of UAW movement, did they show any actual proof with names? No.
Why? They did actually plenty of claims about Tesla which if true would end with mega trials and very serious civil cases. Where is all this legal noise? Nowhere.
Did BI reporting on break and roll test compared Tesla with the situation in auto industry? you know the simple comparison like saying that these tests warrant good performance of produced autos. No, and they wouldn't ever do it because only GM had at least two recalls specifically because of problems with break subsystem in their autos.
Tesla will be the last company to play with customers safety, in no small part because of the level scrutiny they "enjoy".
They made this test "complimentary" because FORI crap is baggy and they had problems with sensors. Real test tracks testing is expensive, it works only at low volume and this is the real reason why it is not used by most auto-companies.
At the stable rates of 7000+ they will have to buy some real brew of some real german automation company.
