Honestly this was a fair article. Have you *been* to the Model 3 forums here? It wasn't a small minority having delivery problems.
It has gotten much much better though.

Considering lobbyists don’t get out of bed before five-figure paychecks begin I’m wondering what’s coming next
Electric car tax credit is just corporate welfare for Elon Musk
Shame that The Hill will publish trash like this

Wow, just wow. When the tax credit that is the topic of the opinion piece, signed into law by BUSH, was custom-crafted to assist GM in getting the Volt out without cratering. And that company that cratered ANYWAY was bailed out of their crater with my tax money, and is now doing buybacks (as if they earned all that money) and trying to keep Tesla from growing in dealer-run states, and and and ... hold on, gotta grab a paper bag...
I have unashamedly just lifted SW2Fiddler's post and placed a response in The Hill using it almost verbatim - well, I enhanced it a bit.....

I'd expect nothing else from Pat Buchanan's sister.

Sure there have been some problems scaling from the S and X market to the bigger 3 market,
but 100,000 cars went out... I think the bigger story is that and not the few hiccups along the way.
And it is not just this article. Times has had a string of articles attacking Tesla, while ignoring the bigger picture of what is happening.
So Times readers were among those totally surprised when Tesla shipped a ton of cars and turned a profit in Q3.
I don't expect them to be cheerleaders, but wow, they are super one sided at this point, which this model 3 article shows.

Thanks, do have at it. I posted a couple of shorter snappy replies to specific comments in there before posting here. They weren’t like my TMC one. The hyperventilation was real by the time I got back here.

What JCI sale isn't: Prelude to a leap into EV batteries
"Johnson Controls International's battery business may have a new owner, but Power Solutions, as the unit is known, won't change its market strategy.
After last week's $13.2 billion sale to Brookfield Business Partners, Power Solutions President Joe Walicki says he will not chase his rivals into the global market for electric-vehicle batteries — something many in the industry probably assume is his logical next step.
"We will not participate in the high-voltage market," Walicki said of the EV segment. "The big consumer electronics suppliers are in that space. Our space is low-voltage batteries."
Walicki, whose business produces one-third of the world's car batteries, simply doesn't believe EV batteries are profitable.

Ghosn to be fired for misusing Nissan assets for personal use, arrested for misconduct
"Nissan is preparing to fire Chairman Carlos Ghosn for allegedly under-reporting his income and using corporate assets for personal use, a company spokesman said.
Ghosn has been arrested for possible violations of the country’s financial laws, the Yomiuri daily said on its website on Monday.
Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa, 65, will make the recommendation to dismiss Ghosn to the board of directors, Nissan spokesman Nicholas Maxfield said on Monday. The company is also planning to fire fellow board member Greg Kelly, who rose through the executive ranks as a director of human resources."

First time to see corporate executives are arrested by Tokyo district prosecutor's office. They usually arrest higher profile crime suspects. This may possibly be coming from inside?

Yes, in Horie's case, he was arrested for artificially inflating the corporate value, but this case, he was arrested for Incorrect under-reporting of his executive compensation. It seems that an employee who actually created financial reports reported the evidence to the prosecuter, getting a plea deal.
