Help Fight the FUD

This might be of assistance:I've long thought we need a practical FUD_fighting thread here. Posts would be nothing more than links to easily upvoted/commented articles / tweets that the folks here can add their virtual weight to. Posts where people are asking honest opinions on issues surrounding EVs, or where people are being attacked by FUDsters on twitter/facebook/reddit wherever.
Most of us have actual day jobs, and not enough time to go searching for these battles, but up/downvoting appropriate posts and comments is trivial for me if people link to them from an uncluttered, easily viewed thread of such content.
TMC has a lot of members, we should focus our efforts. tweets and retweets are free

I've started to see some NHTSA complaint screenshots circling on Twitter; I'm sure this isn't the first time nor the last.
For those who have encountered NHTSA complaints before, I'm guessing it's fair to say that the NHTSA does not verify the veracity of any claims? Just about anyone can write anything in a complaint?

Weird, I downloaded the image, out of habit, because this way I know it won't disappear. And guess what, perusing @jhall's Twitter account I can't find a corresponding Tweet, so no idea which tweet that image came from.
So I created a Twitter post for this, easier to retweet - suggestions for improvements/ change gladly accepted, or make your own

And on Imgur https://imgur.com/a/x8fgBO2
Maybe someone can make a similar or corresponding Facebook post

Dave Lee explains why Elon does not care about the same things other CEOs care about. So he gets misunderstood. But if you really listen to the clues Elon is giving the future is really bright:
Suitable counter when FUDdies don't like Elon Musk's leadership style.

Some good anti-FUD collateral in this thread:
Alex Voigt tweeted: German BEV Customer satisfaction Survey #1 Model 3 (NPS over 80!) #3 and Model S 2,800 BEV Drivers have been questioned
German source: Meilenstein: Tesla mit höchster Kundenzufriedenheit und den meisten Verkäufen im Premium-Sektor
The article says that customer satisfaction is greater for Tesla Model 3 than for BMW 3 Series owners.

Useful chart for fighting FUD that you will most likely have seen before. What I found really interesting is that only onshore wind is cheaper than solar. An important distinction in the UK where we have plenty of offshore but onshore will meet a lot of resistance from nimbys.
Just stunning how the standard FUD of EV's is spread by a reporter at the NYT.
I'll posit that he may have NEVER even driven a Tesla, and perhaps does not even have a driver's license, but that's just pure speculation on my part, based upon the levels of ignorance shown in the article . . . .

Lucid Motors beats Tesla in range, going 520 miles on a charge, the E.P.A. says.
Tesla, which makes about two-thirds of electric vehicles sold in the United States, has long produced the cars with the best range.
