I see a lot of "whataboutism" in the comments, mostly from people who (for some reason) feel the need to defend Tesla. What's the purpose of this? Criticizing a company or calling out their mistake does not detract from it, it pushes them to get better in fact. You can love something/someone and still recognize their shortcomings.

Other car manufacturers making a mistake does not justify Tesla's mistake or their handling of the situation. We are supposed to hold all car manufacturers to the highest standards instead of justifying Tesla's mistake with someone else's.



It comes across as pretty ridiculous for this to be a popular news article. It's only noteworthy because it's Tesla and news outlets know it generates hate clicks. Cars having problems on delivery, regardless of brand, happens all the time. People love to hyper scrutinize Tesla though
