Government are just giving the key of censorship to corporation. Private owned interests that do not represent the people.
Tesla and its owner's arrogance are creepy.

No, just their PR department

I vehemently disagree. Being wrong or right is probably the most relevant part of this.

As far as I know, Tesla has not filed suit, or in any other way bullied Mr. Niedermayer.

Again, I see nothing here that indicates Tesla controls the public space. Quite the opposite. They have to publish on the same playing field as their detractors. The field has never been so level as it is now on the Internet.

That may or may not be true, but this blog post is hardly the hook to hang your point on. It sounds more like you have an axe to grind here with that last sentence. But that's just my personal reading of it.
Not a single one of those things have come close to happening here.
And random rightful consumers may just remember that before daring to voice a concern.
I call it bullying because like in school, it it the tallest and strongest against the isolated weak ones.
And yes Tesla so far has used yet no legal means, but they have a better arsenal to harm a consumer than a consumer has to fight the company, especially if you have NO lawyer to support you.
So, it is a new prototype of censorship by bullying resulting in people potentially shutting their mouth in fear of the harm for their cyber reputation or liability.
Most people think we should fear government and need more secrecy, I say we should begin to fear corporations and need more transparency from these legal entities.
I don't know if the consumer is a fraud (maybe he is) but I find the tesla PR pretty disproportionate.
In this particular case, we now have both sides of the story and are able to form our own opinions based on the presented information. I think that's as close to an ideal situation as you're ever going to get. Were this to happen in the 1980's (or earlier) we wouldn't even be discussing it.
What a great time to be alive :-) And yes, we should definitely remain vigilant against corporate/government abuse and control.
What do you mean by "goinf after"? Shouldn't they be able to defend themselves?!
It doesn't make me want to buy a Tesla. I'm sure we've all experienced situations where we had to argue strongly with a company to get a repair or refund over something. I wouldn't want to buy a product where arguing with the company ends up with me getting attacked in the media.
Where it jars for me is that if I publicly complained about treatment from a doctor or a hospital I'm fairly confident they wouldn't just produce my medical records and splash details that support their position all over the web. Tesla's approach is a little too close to doing this for me.
