Waiting for the HN fanboys to defend Tesla.

This comment breaks the HN guidelines, which ask you not to call names in comments. We also ask people not to post drive-by dismissals.

What would be nice is if you could issue some guidelines on downvoting.

I will give the obligatory "why is this article on HN" comment. This is inside baseball and tabloid type infotainment. It certainly doesn't "gratify one's intellectual curiosity" in the way that the guidelines on posting most likely intended.

At some point you're going to just have to accept that an upvote/rating system means that the articles on HN are "whatever the HN community wants to see", and no amount of griping or rules lawyering is ever going to change that. HN is a self-selecting population which mostly shares the same interests, and those interests are usually about hacking or IT or entrepreneurship, but not always. The population likes hearing about Tesla, so Tesla articles get front-paged.
