Or maybe Hanlon's razor applies instead: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  Given the repeated circles in the parking lot, we'd be talking about near-unprecedented levels of stupidity.

    "I am NOT going to park more than 4 spots away from the door!" How many times do you see people circling the parking when 20 feet away is a spot to park? But I don't care, this story is B.S., the guy totally was trying report on his agenda and not the facts.

    Musk's emphasis is "drove in circles for over half a mile." I read that as "drove in circles for over half a mile." I.e., not really enough to make it conk out. There are other things in Musk's post that make me worry about Broder's reporting, but not this.

    Apparently he was driving in circles looking for the charging station, which was difficult to see in a dark parking lot: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/02/elon-musk-new-york-times-tesla-test-drive.html http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/02/elon-musk-new-y... We'll just have to wait for this "detailed rebuttal" for more information. This is extremely entertaining.

    All levels of stupidity have precedent.
