To be fair, he's probably not on TMC for journalism.
Anyway, I think The Drive has had pretty good Tesla articles, though I personally think the author of this piece has a deeply held bias against the company, which is pretty evident (again, IMO) if you read his tweets and articles.
That aside, I think he makes good points about Elektrek and its main editor. I mean, he (Fred) gets a lot of Tesla stories up quickly, but he can barely write anything positive about product from other manufacturers, and he rarely has any sort of criticism of Tesla. This latter part is important because Tesla, like any other human endeavor, is not perfect and a someone who purports to be a journalist should report on failings as well as successes. As a writer for another EV site, I believe we owe it to readers to give it to them straight. I realize we all have our own prejudices to some extent, but a good writer aims for accuracy and respects the reader's ability.
Tesla is quite adept at spinning news that's unfavorable, and Musk has publicly admitted a number of his failings over the years, so they don't need a so-called journalist to wash the bad away from news about them. In the end, I think this is harmful to Tesla and to EVs in general, the proliferation of which is part of Tesla's core mission.
There are good reasons why we as writers aren't supposed to own automotive stock or use our stories for personal benefit as in this case. Ethics still matter.
