More anti-ev gibberish

Rating books you haven't read is not exactly exercising free speech, it's lying. If you need to lie to spread your beliefs your views are probably not based in reality. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater when there is no fire is not covered under free speech because it's a destructive lie.

Back on topic, the Boeing mess is gaining more negative press. I'm just glad Tesla is no longer using the original LiCo chemistry.

Maybe already under control, but Tesla & SpaceX are happy to help with the 787 lithium ion batteries.
 
There was an article mention in our Anti-EV threads long ago how cheap it was to hire a a small bunch of college students to troll the internet and overpower the comment sections of articles that were counter to the employer's wishes. I was like 10 times (or was it 100) cheaper than an ad campaign.

There is this: xkcd: First Post

General observation:
It's kind of a sad commentary (word pun accidental) that "crowdsourced comments" even have much influence. Do you have your opinion because you can support it, and feel it's grounded, or because it's popular?

I've been involved a few times on Autoblog or Autoblog Green where suddenly a ton of negative comments flood in about Tesla or the Volt and I am scrambling to refute them all. I've always assumed that some right wing blog or article is posting a link to Autoblog using the article as a reference to bash government/Obama Administration policies. I suppose it's possible this was a crowdsourced comment moment. The negative comments are usually the same BS we all have heard before with little to no reasoning behind them. They always seem to be parroting the anti-EV bullet points.

There are tons of people that are taking a "first glimpse" at topics by quickly overlooking the comments, and they get influenced very quick by typic bs comments like "oh well guess where the electricity is coming from, you think it comes magicly out of the wall" or "well 300 Miles range aint enough for me to visit my grandma in Argentina on one trip"

same with Amazon reviews, If I look up a new product and top reviews are bad I dont bother to look deeper into it
 
We had 5 Model Ss and a Roadster meet up for lunch today. Was walking behind a guy and his wife as we passed a Model S and hear the guy say 'That's one of those $150,000 cars paid for by the government' so I said 'No it's not and it was a loan anyway'. Went over well I guess. I'm sure he'll tell all his friends about his enlightening experience and how he misunderstood the ATVM loan program.
 
Good find, cheap site. Do we know where that image is from? Looks like a push (and fueling) vehicle from a racing circuit.

Yeah. Can't remember where but I have seen this on SportsCenter I think. Was an Indy Car or Nascar race where another car rammed into the back of that truck causing it to catch on fire.

Found it
Jet-fuel fire at NASCAR Daytona 500 - YouTube
 
Nicely done! Getting that outrageously biased and wildly inaccurate article taken down gets a thumbs up from me.

Thanks. I have no idea if my message to them had anything to do with it being pulled as it could have been a coincidence but still nice. I didn't even mention anything about the crazy content, just that a few of the images looked to be pulled from the internet with no attribution to the photographer or source.
