NY Times' Broder Responds To Tesla's Elon Musk

Posted by samzenpus on from the ding-ding-ding dept.

DocJohn writes "NY Times' John Broder responded to Elon Musk's blog entry. Accused of driving around a parking lot for no reason, for instance, Broder notes he was simply looking for the poorly marked charging station. Worst of all, much of Broder's behavior can be attributed directly to advice he received from Tesla representatives — something Musk fails to mention."

    Yeah. Can you guess why?

    Illiteracy, obviously.

    Plus he drove .6 miles in circles mostly at speeds between 10-15 MP while supposed "looking for a charging station". If you didn't find it on your first time circling the small 100 car lot, why wouldn't you just slow down to look for it rather than going in circles around the lot 30-40 times at a speed too fast to carefully look?

    I expect that you've identified the problem. He ran out of juice because he drove the car 0.6 miles further than they'd planned for.

    The Italicians weren't Nazis, just allied to them. Grammar fascist would be more accurate.

    And yet.... You are.

    Try harder. Nobody likes a pedantic ass. Technically correct or not.

    I lied. I don't really try.
