Readership

The readership of the article has just spiked to about 4,000/day. This will be partly because the article now exists and so interested readers are finding it and linking to it; and perhaps also because Sandy Munro recently interviewed Elon Musk. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Yeah that makes sense. Also, thanks to your observation I know the stats page exists, thanks. Krupo (talk) 23:15, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Requests

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Munro & Associates is well known in the auto industry for their competitive benchmarking but gained global recognition with their popular YouTube channel, Munro Live. In an April, 2020 video, Sandy Munro called out manufacturing flaws on an early Tesla Model 3. Elon Musk cited Munro's critique as accurate in a January 2020 tweet, mentioning improvements made to the Model Y ^[1]. Lolasbroken (talk) 20:15, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Lolasbroken[reply]

That article seems to be behind a paywall. We could perhaps say something about Munro's interview of Musk, as reported here. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lolasbroken I have marked your edit request as declined for now pending on your reply to Andrew Davidson above. Please note that the following sentence should be reworded, as at present it sounds promotional and non-neutral: "Munro & Associates is well known in the auto industry for their competitive benchmarking but gained global recognition with their popular YouTube channel". Could you either provide a relevant quote from the paywalled article, or use the above link provided? When you reply, please remove the "|D" from {{request edit}} to reopen your request.
