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."

    And the car salesman doesn't like his half-baked vehicle to be reviewed negatively. So? Anyone who's looking will see three things: Musk has not published data, but charts and accusations, the released charts largely corroborate the original report and definitely do not paint the grave picture the car salesman is pitching; and the advice the reporter got from Tesla staff was ridiculous and contributed more to the problems than his driving style or heater usage.

    Both the original report and the rebuttal were biased, but Musk's accusations are unjustified and his ramblings are not very convincing.

    I'll wait for the data before I make up my mind though, although I doubt they will be released.

    Yeah. Can you guess why?
