Career

edit

Niedermeyer began covering the automotive industry in 2008 as a contributor to The Truth About Cars and later became its Editor-in-Chief,[2][5] where he often covered General Motors and Chrysler.[6] After leaving Cars, he joined The Drive as a Senior Editor and continued to write bylines as freelancer.[7] In 2018, he joined Automotive News.[8] In 2019, Niedermeyer published his book about Tesla, Inc. with BenBella Books, offering a skeptical perspective on the electric car company's history.[6][9]

In response to a story broken by Niedermeyer about the company, Tesla published a 2016 blog post stating it was a fabrication and suggesting that he was shorting Tesla's stock,[10][11] leading to online harassment.[12] Nathan Robinson has suggested that there is "probably no greater expert on the career of Elon Musk and the development of Tesla [than Niedermeyer]."[5] His insights regarding Tesla Autopilot in particular have been cited repeatedly.[13][14][15][16]
