Tesla, a future case study for securities law classes across America, had to stop delivering Cybertrucks this past weekend. No, not because the hundred-thousand–dollar medium-duty pickup, which is only any of those things in the loosest interpretive sense, tends to brick when it gets rained on; nor ...
Who cares? The pedestrians in front of those monstrosities that will be chopped to pieces by that murder box. How the hell that thing can drive legally on any street is beyond me.

I actually found the tone of the article (which is in tune with the title) quite refreshing, to the point that I read it all despite the fact I couldn't care less about cars :)
IDK about the US press (I live elsewhere) but sometimes I feel the news could benefit from more candidly opinionated articles like this one and less professional-sounding pieces crafted to influence the readers' opinions instead of informing them of the writer's.
But because it's all opinion, it gives me nothing except "some guy on the the internet has an opinion". I can't do anything with it, especially not form an opinion of my own. It's just a waste of my time. Mind you, I already am of the opinion that Tesla is going to shit but I found very little in this article to substantiate that opinion should I need to argue for it myself, and the headline is just a plain out lie that that has no basis in the body text. It's poorly written at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.
