TSLA

Ross Gerber, a Tesla investor, criticized the company for not making efforts to correct misleading media headlines due to the absence of a public relations department. On CNBC's 'Last Call,' Gerber highlighted Tesla's lack of response to media inquiries, particularly regarding reports of Tesla 'recalling' over 2 million vehicles. CNBC anchor Brian Sullivan noted that other companies like Ford or GM have PR teams that address misinformation, unlike Tesla. Tesla, which hasn't had a PR department since October 2020, relies on CEO Elon Musk and social media for communication. Musk has previously expressed his disdain for media queries, and Tesla's VP Rohan Patel has clarified that the term 'recall' is misused when referring to over-the-air software updates.
