The New York Times publishes a review of an electric car. The review is anything but positive.

Tesla responds with proof from the tested car.

All that's missing is for him to be linked to big oil...

CNN Money kinda-sorta replicated the NYT test run, and said the car was just fine.

The last post in my thread was Tesla's response to the dude saying their car sucked in the cold. Leish's second link is that same reply from Tesla.

EDIT: The dude has a further post about why Tesla's internal diagnostics are bullshit and that he did exactly what the company execs/nerds told him to. PA had a strip about it this week.

I only posted it because Marc Merrill (President of Riot) tweeted it and it caught my interest.

Never saw Malcolm's link.
