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

Posted by timothy on from the relax-cbs-does-this-all-the-time dept.

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."

    Also, why would he try to tarnish this car? He doesn't appear to own an oil company.

    1. I can't feed my horseless carriage grass, it needs some special fuel that I can only get a special stations?
