Side-by-side looks at how the BBC covers Tesla: which stories get headlines, and which get silence.
What Elon Musk actually said or did, compared with how the BBC reported it.
The same treatment for other outlets: CNN, Forbes, Electrek, The Australian, and the BBC beyond Tesla.
Cars the press once called a 'Tesla killer'. How it started, and how it's going.
Practical posts for UK drivers: real prices, road trips and what's selling.
Posts in the same spirit that aren't part of a numbered series.
When former Labour minister Ivor Caplin was arrested after a paedophile hunter sting in January 2025, the BBC headline was "Man arrested on suspicion of child sex offence". The Mirror named him and his party the same day. Funny how Reform goes straight in the headline.

Here's a Musk story they could run instead.

View on X โPutin compliments Musk and it's Musk's headline.
Same Musk who challenged Putin to single combat over Ukraine in 2022, and sent Starlink there within days of the invasion.
On this month's slowdown, Musk says Ukraine's military broke Starlink's terms by using it for offensive drone strikes, and SpaceX closed that loophole.
Funny how that part never makes the story.
March 2022: "I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat. Stakes are Ukraine."
He wrote Putin's name in Russian and Ukraine in Ukrainian. That was a deliberate choice.
He also sent Starlink to Ukraine within days of the invasion. The Kremlin's response was to mock him.
Who you're praised by tells you NOTHING about who you are.
The BBC knows Musk runs the world's biggest satellite network. It still chose to make the headline about who said something NICE about him.
Guilt by compliment isn't journalism. It's a smear with extra steps.

CBS News has covered lorry fires before. A fuel tanker. A lorry full of eggs. A load of fireworks.
Not once did the headline name the brand.
One Tesla Semi catches fire, nobody is hurt, the cause is still unknown.
"A Tesla semi-trailer caught fire." ๐
