No it was people pulling the plug out and charging their Volts and Leaves. She left her car 8 hours while at work. Someone comes in charges for a few hours and leaves. Doesn't say much for the class of people that own plug-in vehicles. Not sure how long it takes for a full charge.

I've had people cut in front of me in line for gas, so I wouldn't judge based on that alone.

Still can't get used to not hearing any engine noise.

“Cars today almost without exception are a technology product which drives environmental awareness and fuel efficiency. It’s not just luxury. Manufacturers are making progress even with better ways of making the internal combustion engine work better and making steady progress with hybrids and plug-ins. What car you buy can make an indirect statement that you are aware of the environment,” Kaas said."

NYT wrote a damning review, but Musk punched back nicely:

Looks like the NYT write was lying through his teeth! That's waaaay too much contradictory data to be made up.

A journalist creating news? Nah, this can't be true!

I think it's funny he got caught. Especially since he lied so much.

And now the NYT is back-tracking...if only a little:
 
http://green.autoblog.com/2013/02/19/new-york-times-admits-tesla-model-s-writer-- - - didnt-use-go/
 
I predict these black boxes will change the way reviews are written in the future. Better take good notes!
 
NYTimes has never exactly been the best at auto reporting. Many of the people who work there don't even drive at all!

And "broderize" has now entered the lexicon.
 
From what I read, Broder isn't an auto writer either, but covers the oil industry among other stuff.
 
But I'm not going to call it a hack job until after market closes in another minute and Tesla releases sales results for Q4. They targeted 2,500 to 3k. Or was it 3k sold for the year? Lost that link already.
