Reserving your Model 3

> I suggest you go back and look at it. It isn't as black and white as you seem to believe. Tesla muddied the water, in particular as few read the rebuttal or follow up, but ultimately the original article is still an interesting look at what owning a Tesla was like in 2013.

According to the NYT themselves they were imprecise and made mistakes[1]. Considering that I don't know why a flawed review from 2013 would be a good indicator of anything.

I am talking about Tesla's behaviour. Some of the original NYT article's claims did get knocked down, but many remained. Tesla went full on nuclear against the NYT for the original article calling it "fake" and the writer a "liar" when ultimately most of the article turned out to be largely true and factual.

It is the classical "let me nitpit tiny details and then claim your entire point is wrong" arguing technique. Go look at the original NYT article, then read this rebuttal, and tell me that most of the major complaints in the NYT article don't stand.

Yup, I've read both. He failed to charge multiple times and then even tried to kill the car when it showed zero miles remaining.

There's a huge difference between 60,70 and 80 mph when it comes to efficiency. I can drop from 60-70 and see a 30% increase in my range due to v^2.
