I remember when a reporter did a review of the Tesla back when they first started to get popular. They gave the reporter a loaner car to test and review it. Ended up giving it a bad review. But what stuck out the most was how much data Musk had on the vehicle/driver to try and discredit the story. From time the person used any of the devices, to video, and power % all remotely…
That was a fairly famous situation. The reporter was very anti-EV, and trashed the car’s crappy range and said it ran out of power on him with no warning.
Tesla released the logs showing that it popped up low power warnings and suggested places to charge several times, all of which were ignored. When the car reported 0% it was then driven to a parking lot where it drove around in circles (the whole time, suggesting a nearby charger) until it finally shut down.
The reporter was then fired.
