Not worth it to me to install another browser.

Good thought. But no luck.

No luck downloading a MP3?? Try right clicking that link and saving it to your hard drive first. Then play it (I assume you have some sort of media player installed).

I had similar issues on my PC. Got to play it by downloading the podcast via iTunes on my iPad.

If you have an idevice, it is an alternative solution.

I can download and play MP3s, just not that URL for some reason. It's giving me 404-like behavior, but the image/media flavor of a 404 (X) not the HTML flavor.

No issues; d/l, and 3 different players liked it fine.

Try using this link. I clipped out the section of the podcast about the Model S and uploaded it to 4shared. Click the "Download Now" button and it will tell you to create a username and password, but it doesn't require your email or anything.

ModelSClip.mp3 - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download - Jerry Seinfeld

Actually, I think you can stream it from there too, but you still need a username and password to register

latest Autoblog podcast (about 5 min long)

Wonderful to hear a car guy talk about Tesla's S that way. I'm sure Tesla will use his quotes on their website but the written word won't capture his sincere excited tone.

The version linked to is actually about an hour long, they start talking about the Model S around minute 29. Love he says "Legitamately great....legit badass"

Yep, we have that on the Wiki summary of this thread (Post #2). Thanks, though!

There's a whole thread discussing it here -

Motor Trend: World Exclusive! 2012 Tesla Model S Test and Range Verification

Really amazing results. Hopefully Car and Driver will publish soon and include rolling acceleration numbers. MotorTrend doesn't push those, but they also think that Model S Performance is likely the quickest sedan on the road while actually moving.

I edited the Wiki to better identify this story and the Edmunds story as actual track data, as opposed to a strict review.
