It might not prove he drove in circles in a parking lot, but you have to admit there are discrepancies in the data that have not been explained fully by the NYT editor that don't prove he didn't deliberately try and drain the battery all for having the scoop review that tries and dispels Tesla's claims of efficiency.
- Kylekramer 14y agoYou are asking the NYT editor to prove a negative? What evidence would you require to prove he didn't deliberately try to drain the battery?
- free652 14y agoThere are a lot of claims that were not proven by Musk, like driving through the downtown Manhattan.. When Lincoln Tunnel is nowhere close to Downtown.. (or properly Lower Manhattan) Let's not start nitpicking, that stop was new for the reporter. He stopped once on the different side of the highway (North bound) and on this side of highway (South bound) the tesla station was in a completely different place. So yea, it's very plausible that he was looking for it.
- cube13 14y agoIt was the northbound trip before the first charge. For the southbound trip, the car was effectively dead on the tow truck(it didn't have enough charge to disengage the parking break): http://jalopnik.com/towing-company-the-nyt-tesla-model-s-was-dead-when-it-196100064 http://jalopnik.com/towing-company-the-nyt-tesla-model-s-was...
