The Tesla Conspiracy... or Am I a Dead Whistleblower?

[OnlinePoker]

This is a blog post from a gentleman who has spent years converting gas powered cars to electric. He has stopped for one reason, Tesla. In this post, he details what he believes to be a corporate conspiracy to destroy Tesla. I think it's worth reading.
------------------------

I generally eschew conspiracy theories under the rubric that little explained by conspiracy cannot as well be explained by incompetence and that the occurrence of stupid is vastly more common than the occurrence of evil in the hearts and minds of men.

But it is also true that it can only be a conspiracy theory if there is NOT an underlying conspiracy. And it is only paranoia if they are NOT all out to get you.

In the case of Tesla, the car and the company, if you eliminate all other possible causes, what remains is the answer. And I have the increasingly uncomfortable feeling that not all is right with the world.

Let’s start with the car. I suppose it’s a matter of opinion, and I’m certainly given to having one, but what is emerging is a stunning lack of challenge to the premise that the Tesla, in all its variants, is the most advanced automobile ever designed and manufactured on purpose, and the best car ever made in all respects. Basically ALL voices and opinions to the contrary have simply disappeared from the scene – poof – gone.

1. If someone *gave* me a Tesla I'd give it away like a hot potato to someone who cared.

Probably to a charity for them to sell.

Car culture is loathsome. It pisses me off that I have to own a car to be considered a functional adult in most of the U.S.A..

I express my displeasure by driving $1000 cars. I bought a new car once, when I was young and overcharged with testosterone, but I'll NEVER do that again. Why support industries, including Tesla, that are bad for the earth's natural environment?

The article says Tesla doesn't do advertising. Why should they? Members of the Tesla cult do it for them.
