Sure, but how many people outside of our Tesla bubble do watch these videos? Even if people did, there are probably ten fake Tesla horror stories for every positive actual one – and as you certainly know the narratives that
are repeated most are the ones that stick in the end. Not necessarily the ones that are positive or true. It's very unfortunate but that's how our brain works.
And in the grand scheme of things, how many do know a Tesla owner, first-degree? Yes, the number is rapidly increasing, but we should not fool ourselves: EVs are still quite niche-y. It's dumbfoundedly easy to come up with fake myths and stories and that's exactly what they do.
Sadly those diffuse, negative feelings towards Tesla won't suddenly vanish the first time they get to sit in one:
FUD does cause long-time and often irreversible damage to a brand.
You don't have to look far for an example in the automotive industry: Opel.
It's a well-known fact that VW's massive FUD campaign in the 80s and 90s, together with EU-wide help of media – most notably the German car magazine "Auto Bild" and its sister magazines – positioned the formerly well-respected Opel brand in such a way that they became toxic to most. Actually, Opel is still the laughingstock in the German automotive scene. They have yet to recover from this smear campaign.
