  1. @ Shorebird : So the make can be mentioned in the article and NOT in the headline!
    You’ll NEVER see a title like “GM car strikes … Ford crashes into ” or anything like that.
    “Traditional” car makers finance the press with their ads , so said press “covers up” for them and tries to bash Tesla whenever they can

  2. There have been some incidents (nation wide) with Teslas hitting various things due to mis-use or limitations of the autopilot feature. Now when a Tesla is involved in a crash, it raises a different kind of concern than your run-of-the-mill incident. Not that this incident involved autopilot—I have no idea about that.
