Elon Musk Lays Out His Evidence That NYT Tesla Test Drive Was Staged

mykepredko writes "Tesla Motors CEO and founder Elon Musk definitely isn't the best guy to try to pull a fast one on. The visionary entrepreneur set Twitter a titter when he claimed earlier this week that New York Times writer John Broder had fudged details about the Tesla Models S car's range in cold weather, resulting in what he termed a 'fake' article. Musk promised evidence, and now he has delivered, via the official Tesla blog."

    Regardless, Border needs to go. He has no integrity.

    Sounds like he fits right in at nyt

    So we take the word of a CEO as truth however consider the Reporter of a respected source a Lyer?

    Yes, because John Broder is an anti-green liberal hippy. Sure.

    Your argument is so free from reality that I can see soap bubbles coming from your ears.

    There is also a loud and large lobby of pro-wind, pro-solar and pro-electric car types out there furiously personally attacking anyone daring to give a bad review to any electric car. And Elon Musk is leading the charge (no pun intended). He did the same thing with Top Gear when they gave an earlier model a bad review. Basically, if you give a Tesla a bad review, you can expect to get immediately and heavily personally attacked by the the Tesla CEO and everyone out there who thinks that the all-electric car is the solution to all our problems.

    I wouldn't review a Tesla if they paid me. I would as soon write a book criticizing Scientology.
