Tesla doesn't need these journalists to promote their products and they hate that. The ICE manufacturers love these guys because they are bashing Tesla. Like the dealer network these journalists want to maintain the status quo. I should add that almost a decade ago that I was a journalist and...

Fine, you win. lol. I'll concede that Cato is at least as big of a d-bag as Booth. That's exactly it. These guys cherry pick their assignments so they end up in Europe driving exotics and are shills of the highest order.

Good. I work in the auto industry and had to deal with this guy once or twice a few years back and he's so full of himself its nauseating. Of course if you want the king of d-bags in Canadian auto journalism, it's this guy. Motor Mouth: Why I’m not drinking the Tesla Kool-Aid

I'm not sure they would have paid him for that. They may have just asked him to do this series. It's certainly not like he is shilling for Cadillac and when he describes Apple as the upstart of an established industry and the future of the automobile, my mind goes to Tesla. Not Cadillac.

How did you get it booked? The link above?

I read that Globe story as well and since I am going to the show on the 13th was hoping to go as well.

See to me the X1 is a weirdmobile. Yes, I understand why it is like that but Tesla has shown that EV's can be beautiful.

I don't usually like to combine my love of cars and my love of pornography so I see no need for these pictures on the site. There are however, exceptions and there are some excellent retro hot rod pinup websites with the girls usually pretty clothed. Not to mention curvy and tattooed. :p Back...

Tesla is carving out their own niche by building luxury/performance EV's. So they shouldn't be chasing Toyota-like volume. Don't get me wrong they need to increase sales but lets be realistic.

Prius owners want an appliance and the Prius looks like one. Its boring for both an EV and ICE car. I'm not slamming anything else about the Prius other than its styling and driving dynamics. Its a fuel efficient, reliable appliance which is why people buy it.

People are willing to forgive a lot of flaws in the functionality if the looks really appeal to them. That's why Jenny McCarthy is married.

Hello! I'm not an owner either (waiting for Model 3) so you're not alone in being here as an enthusiast.

He says it won't be a weirdmobile but its going to be radical. More importantly than radical is that it needs to be beautiful.

I have spent 10 years in the auto industry and its full of this type of management. A shake up of the industry like Tesla is doing could only have come from outside. The automakers are too scared to do anything that's actually revolutionary. How many of those dozen EV's will be anything more...

I forgot to add that Tesla needs to have a performance focus as well. Neither GM nor the Japanese will produce a performance oriented EV. The Model S is fast, sexy and cool. As I want a Model 3 as my next car I hope its the same.
