Disappointing that the majority of the comments here are conspiracy theories about nefarious short-sellers somehow influencing coverage (including this article) and not a single person is discussing the seriously damning allegations of 1) millions of dollars of embezzlement 2) connections to organized crime and Mexican drug cartels 3) systematic firing of those who report impropriety to upper management and 4) using law enforcement to intimidate whistleblowers

Seriously this comment section of conspiratorial Tesla apologists is pathetic.

I feel the same way. If I could find another tech forum where I could find topics like this and discuss them without hearing from anti-media conspiracy theorists I would join it in a heartbeat.

Even just a view of HN comments without having to weed out the threads complaining about fake news would be great. I bet it's not so hard to train a classifier to identify comments that amount to "This article is paid for by short sellers". They all make the same point and never address the issues in the article.

>discussing the seriously damning allegations

Oh please, provide some reliable sources.

So far, all the allegations -- including the ones pushed by the NYT about the company hiding unsold Model 3 inventory in the desert to cover lack of demand -- proved to be nothing.

There's plenty of debunkers here as well.
