The research tracks coverage frequency of five models: the Tesla Model Y, Tesla Model 3, Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevrolet Bolt, and Tesla Cybertruck, correlating coverage patterns with significant industry events. Some of the most striking findings: Tesla's Model 3 consistently dominated headlines with 30-44% of coverage throughout the study period, but Ford proved it could steal the show – its F-150 Lightning captured an impressive 78% of coverage during its launch. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Bolt's media presence steadily declined, dropping from 9.79% in 2020 to just 2.15% in 2024, highlighting how quickly the EV media landscape can change.
