What I read is that the blogger earlier wrote about his BMW making him
feel Stoopid and he uses that as defense that he can also be rude to
Tesla.
Apparently Tesla does not feel obliged to become a whore for just
earning your money. If you feel that you do not like them, then they
rather not do business with you. It is their right and I think it was a
smart choice.

Read it again.  That was MUSK's defense, such as it is.

I'm probably swimming against the current here, but I don't think this 
reflects well on Tesla.  

The blogger wasn't very polite, but these days everybody's a critic.
You 
expect that in business.  IMO, the best response to a post like that is
to 
say "Thanks for your comments; guess we can't please everybody," and
move 
on.

To me, what Musk did suggests poor impulse control.  

There's a dismaying tendency in the US today to celebrate rudeness and 
impulsive behavior as "refreshing honesty."  That's just wrongheaded and

damaging.  

Basically, Musk had a tantrum.  I don't think he's helped himself, or
his 
company, or the EV movment, by letting it become public knowledge.
