  Did you read it? It’s an opinion piece that references the Reuters report, and several articles, and is an absolute BLAST to read.

  How on earth did you reach the conclusion the blog is spam?!

      If you just go to any of the actual information pages about the blog, you’ll very quickly see it’s a genuine thing.

      One would expect a spam blog to at least serve ads? Seems like a lot of effort to write an entire editorial without even so much as a revenue stream.

  Respectfully, Defector is about the furthest thing from a spam blog that you’ll find on the internet, my dude/lady.

  It was formed a few years back by writers fleeing the sinking ship that was Deadspin.

  I’d encourage you to check out some of their other articles and judge for yourself.

  It pretty clearly states in the first paragraph that it’s a blog. It’s okay to post blogs. Moreover, the author specifically encourages reading the quoted Reuters report:

  The Reuters piece is quite long, and earns its length with an incredible wealth of damning receipts, including internal Tesla communications making clear that the company has known about its own shoddy work for a long time, even as it deceived investors, regulators, and drivers. I urge you to read it for yourself.
