      But if they specifically call out Tesla, they get more clickbait engagement, plus it now qualifies as a tech story! Double win!

      It’s almost nostalgic being mildly annoyed at some slightly sub-par journalistic ethics displayed by Gizmodo and company. Feels quaint and nostalgic now. I honestly didn’t know Gizmodo was still running, if I’m perfectly honest. It’s been quite the decade.
