Jalopnik is indirectly saying the early reviews will be good. They would prefer us to trust them if they came out bad.

My take, which I'm not going to waste on Jalopnik; Tesla already has sold out into next year. They have no reason to promote the car to boost sales. Not yet, anyway. So why waste perfectly good production cars on the automotive press when word of mouth is good enough. Get the cars in the hands of their customers first. Do something small with the press because they have to. And worry about full test drives with the automotive press when production is ramped up and they've got the resources to allow it.
But to Jalopnik's sour grapes; perhaps Tesla should alter their response to point out that their customers are their first priority. When they can, they will offer full test drives, but not now. And, regarding Dan Neil, ask Jalopnik to produce their Pulitzer Prize.

I'll bet he's miserable to be around right now ... probably the only topic of conversation is Tesla and how foolish the rest of the world is to not listen to him. ::yawn::

It's like he is desperate. I love how he says he blogs about sustainability. No he doesn't, he blogs about how much he hates Tesla.
Also, he is only counting Tesla's direct affect (5,000 this year 20,000 next). He should also give them some credit for GM, Toyota, and Daimler EV sales; not to mention credit for changing the public's opinion of EVs.

I found this particular blog of his to be really sad and even felt sorry for him, a bit. A very narrow view of the world ... using his reasoning, no one should ever do anything out of the norm, because that effort will mean nothing. And anyone who does do something out of the norm is a fool.
I have noticed an increase in his 'if Tesla succeeds, I'll be the first to congratulate' comments. He may be slowly realizing he's been wrong, just not quite ready to say it.

I think the guy is playing a fools game, giving shorts some meat while buying as much TSLA until the squeeze.
I'm saying that because nobody can be so dumb, disconnected. I don't think he's an idiot.

With some time to waste I decided to see who is tweeting links to this article and I must say it has been entertaining. Some links link to website that don't exist, questionable companies/enterprises/products. Some actually seem to be connected to actual people.
Call me paranoid, but it would appear that either Mr. Peterson has an (negative) interest in the well being of Tesla or he's just distracting from the great performance of Axion stock. :scared:;-)

If Tesla does succeed, I'll be the first to shove it down his throat.
Seriously though, I wonder what he would define as success though. My experience with people like this tells me that they will just keep raising the bar. I'd like to see him lay out his criteria for changing his mind.
I hope someone is saving a link to all his articles (maybe even a PDF). Send him a nice package of them via email once this is over.

We should keep a running tally: "JP vs. Elon". Write down every definitive statement that JP makes in an article, then give Elon a check when he proves it wrong. JP can get a check if he gets it right too.
I'd be interested to see the score.

I saw a Yahoo headline and thought for a second that it was Peterson!

Off topic -- mcornwell, thanks for the link.
I just clicked on a link at the bottom of the page to watch the first episode of the new Yahoo! series by Ben Stiller called Burning Love and it is hilarious! It made my day!
