To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

I agree with many other posters

I agree with many other posters. I find nearly every article to be very anti-Tesla, so there is no credibility for me. Whether it is constant bad news about Tesla or pumping up competitive EVs, I have to filter out their articles.

I would give them 0 stars if I could

I would give them 0 stars if I could. Fred is the most biased hatelful journalist I have ever read articles written by. He hates Tesla and just spends all his time writing articles to slander Tesla. Not journalism, but rather Slanderism. Terrible.

Best in class

Fact-based journalism, plus well-reasoned opinions and analysis of current events in the electric vehicle market and related industries, businesses and policies such as renewable energy, e-bikes, etc.

Confirmed Fraud - Potentially Illegal Activity

"Electrek.co" is a website that reports EV-related news. It has been seen conducting grossly deceptive and potentially illegal conduct, including the use of fake, AI-generated images of real people in their headlines, with zero disclosure.

For evidence, see the article "Elon Musk just said some wild things about Tesla’s self-driving rollout", posted by "Fred Lambert" on October 24, 2024. Archive.org can be used in case the site employee or staff attempt to cover up their conduct.

"Electrek" has been reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for fraud and potentially illegal activity. I recommend you do the same.
