Tesla has stopped making "cars"?

[Jimbo435]

Top two news stories on one of my local TV stations this week... verbatim:

#1) Car cut in half after a violent crash in San Francisco Bayview district overnight.

#2) San Francisco MTA holding open house on how to make Taylor street safer after Sunday’s crash that left a pedestrian dead and another person injured after they were hit by a black Tesla.

They should either call out all cars makes, or call out none.

They know what headlines get people to click / watch. "Tesla" is a bonus. "Ford" is not.

New York Times top headline: “FATALLY HURT BY AUTOMOBILE”.
That was in 1899, and it was also an electric car. Note the headline is written as if the car itself was to blame, not the driver.
Nothing changes.
