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

      They actually lampshade this further down the article, at the point where clickbaiting has fulfilled its goal.

      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.
