I don't think that is correct. You are saying that it wouldn't get as much coverage if it were another brand of car but still at a Tesla Supercharger? I think we've proven that not true already multiple times. People are so eager to find bad news on Tesla that they will jump on any supposed story, regardless of whether it is Tesla's cars or Tesla's charging stations, regardless of what the other one is. (I still see that stupid picture over and over where it's just Supercharger stalls with no cars, but there's some flooding, and there is some water standing around the stalls.) My anecdote, which is definitely not the same as data, is when I kept seeing people slandering Tesla about how the Tesla Supercharger in Seaside Oregon "caught on fire", and there were the usual "haw haw" comments and insinuations about how it's all a big fiery death trap and how this supposedly proves that any electric anything is too dangerous, etc., etc.
Well, when digging into what had actually happened there at the Seaside Supercharger, it turned out it was some dumbo in a gas powered Mustang who was spinning donuts in the parking lot and crashed his car into the Superchargers, and then his car caught fire, because...gasoline. But that had no effect on people shouting that the Tesla Superchargers were the dangerous thing.
You brought that up a couple of times, but I hadn't had a chance to respond to it yet. You seem to think that it's a case of Tesla "allowing" people to drive and discharge from the battery on damaged salvaged cars, as if it's intentional, and then saying it doesn't make sense and is hypocritical. But I don't think that's it at all. I think Tesla is consistent in their desire. They would love to not have damaged salvaged cars do ANYTHING. Don't drive them, don't use Tesla Superchargers, don't use any CHAdeMO or CCS, or sit in them or anything. That would match with their desire to not have risk of bad PR.
But it's simply a legal reality that they don't have control over all of those things. They can't prevent people from doing some of those things. They are blocking what they can and what they think they can get away with. Supercharger use is definitely within their permission and control to turn off, so they do. Other DC charging probably is not in their legal power to mess with, but it seems grey enough that they have tried a few times and been challenged on it, and at other times have realized they can't do that. As for other things, with people driving and using level2 charging of salvaged cars, Tesla probably wishes people wouldn't, but there's nothing they can do about it.
