The great NYT/Tesla brouhaha of 2013

[NEexpat]

Don't know how many have seen this.

It appears Tesla gave one of it's cars to a NYT's reporter to do a long range test drive and report back on their super charging stations etc.

Well the reporter was less than impressed and actually had the $101K car die on him in CT. and wrote about it, Tesla cried foul and then the fun ensued.

There are lots of articles out on this right now I have linked just the following:

Tesla Chairman Elon Musk's retort to the article here

And another article defending the reporter here

I really enjoyed the comments in the second.

My two cents - I think the reporter wanted it to die, had 61 miles to go and left the charging station with the range saying 32.

cheers.
