Some new Tesla cars are being delivered with flaws, and owners say getting them fixed is a painful process
The article is out and as everyone thought, it's super biased...


Other Tesla owners said they were taken aback by the high quality of Tesla's customer service. Danny Corrigan, who works in the tech industry near Portland, Oregon, said he has spent hundreds of dollars on pizza for the employees at Tesla's Portland service center and had the initials of three employees inscribed on a brick he dedicated to them in Portland's Pioneer Square.

"It's just phenomenal service. It's just blowing me away," he said.

Corrigan owns a Model S and said on multiple occasions Tesla employees have been especially attentive to his needs. Once, after his Model S became inoperable around 150 miles from his home because of a software glitch, Corrigan called Tesla and said the company quickly had a tow truck sent to pick up his vehicle, called him an Uber, and prepared a rental car. While he was waiting for his car to be repaired, he received a call from a Tesla employee checking in on him.

Even when he doesn't have an issue and just wants to be educated on how his car works, employees take the time to respond to his calls and emails.

"What other company goes above and beyond and does this kind of customer service?" he said.

Dave Pai, a lawyer who lives in San Francisco, became concerned when he learned in July that Tesla had sold its 200,000th vehicle, which meant a $7,500 tax credit available to customers would begin to expire. He configured his Model 3 in June and was told it would arrive in October. Tesla's website indicated it could be delivered as late as December, which meant he might become ineligible for part of the tax credit if the delivery window was pushed back.

So Pai called the San Francisco service center, which told him he could take delivery that week. Pai said the delivery experience was "amazing," with the car arriving hours earlier than expected. The employees he worked with were enthusiastic, and Pai said a Tesla employee stayed on the phone for an hour in case he had any questions while he went to his bank to sort out financing.

"The guy who I was working with was sort of bending over backwards to make sure I was happy," he said.

Truly disgusting to call something like that journalism.

Oh wait, it was a balanced article of people loving the service and people that didn't like it.
So basically he told two sides of a story and talked to real owners, instead of just speculating about Tesla's service. If that's bad journalism, not sure what good journalism would be.

The point of journalism is to strive for accuracy, not balance.

Tesla's service gets very high marks from a large majority of customers and the vast majority of owners love their Model 3s (according to surveys), yet somehow they ended up with a headline, "Some new Tesla cars are being delivered with flaws, and owners say getting them fixed is a painful process" and dedicates only one section (out of four) to positive cases.
 
The point of journalism is to strive for accuracy, not balance.

Tesla's service gets very high marks from a large majority of customers and the vast majority of owners love their Model 3s (according to surveys), yet somehow they ended up with a headline, "Some new Tesla cars are being delivered with flaws, and owners say getting them fixed is a painful process" and dedicates only one section (out of four) to positive cases.

And he mentioned that in the article. He said that Tesla has had a 97% customer satisfaction with the mobile repair service and also mentioned, that people had more problems with the service center, which I guess everyone of us could agree on.

And you chide him for accuracy, but then default back on the false headline and the percentage of positive and negative stories (both got one section, though). Isn't that again more about balance?

Can you point out the inaccuracy? Aren't owners saying getting them fixed is a painful process? Some say, right? And he did his research, he talked to people on twitter who posted their problems, which you called:

they're basically spending time searching Twitter for anyone who has anything negative to say about Tesla and its vehicles and asking them for interviews:

Which actually was inaccurate. He talked to people that went through service recently. That's called research and is something a journalist does.

Maybe you should have reached out to him, instead of stalking him to publicly shame him. People like you are the death of quality journalism. Maybe you should spend more time finding the inaccuracies in opinion pieces by bloggers, than journalists. There are tons of articles on Seeking Alpha you could go after.

But it's easy to scream "fake news!" and go after journalists that don't write what you want them to write, than go through BS "articles" like this one: Bulls May Not Have Noticed But Tesla's Growth Story Is Dead - Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) | Seeking Alpha

But just don't see every article as an opinion piece. Those exist, but once you see everything as fake that doesn't agree with the opinion pieces you read, then you are on your way to extremism.
 
And he mentioned that in the article. He said that Tesla has had a 97% customer satisfaction with the mobile repair service

And yet somehow wrote an article that was overwhelmingly negative: three sections out of four, plus the headline. Funny that.

If you can't see that A) he was messaging everyone he could find who had a problem, and B) used them to write a very negative article, you need your vision checked.
 
He doesn't have to go to Twitter. He only has to visit here or the official Tesla forums to catalog people's complaints. It's not FUD, it's facts.

The issue is of course not whether there will be people with issues. Duh - they're closing in on 100k cars produced, of course there will be. The question is whether you deliberately seek out a biased sample by searching only for those people who've had problems.

This is like the climate change denialists who quote the 3% of "scientists" who question climate change and ignore the 97% of real scientists who confirm climate change.
 
So what percentage constitutes a problem rather than everyday BAU? Musk already conceded to delivery hell, for instance.

Really, bias works two ways. A hangout like this is for people who have money riding on Tesla's success. Of course people here are going to shrug off issues as everyday business-as-usual. What percentage of baby formula had melamine in it in 2008? Low. But it was still newsworthy. It's the job of journalism to report on this stuff rather than brush it under the rug in the interest of shielding the stock-price.
