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."
The difference is that the NYT, being lefty, doesn't impose an authoritarian ideological mindset down all the way, in contrast to say Rupert Murdoch's papers, because lefties don't like authoritarianism as much. The NYT's editorials and economic reporting are mildly left (by US standards).
