Did anyone else hear the Tesla Model S review on NPR today? A few inaccuracies I think but a very positive review. I think it was a teaser for a bigger review.

Motor Trend just did a very positive long term on the Volt. So, we know that they are open to being positive on EVs. Or perhaps GM just did a large ad purchaseI did catch the review and as the OP said, there are a couple of inaccuracies. I like the fact that the car is getting so much good press and great reviews thus far. Tesla still has the big dogs (i.e. Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Top Gear, etc.) to contend with.
On the other hand, I am just really looking forward to reviewing it myself.

Not much information. The 0-60 time was wrong. the car will cost more then 50k... um.. very vague..
Joe Blow on NPR claimed 4.1 after riding in it. Either he misquoted the spec or he used a stop watch.
IIRC, Top Gear defended itself after blatantly lying about the Roadster by saying that it is a comedy show, not a car review show.Tesla still has the big dogs (i.e. Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Top Gear, etc.) to contend with.
The guy is clearly talking about the Roadster. Some editor mistakenly stuck in the wrong clip. That's easier for me to believe, than a car reporter not knowing that a roadster is a small two-seat sports car, not a big sedan. My customer advocate told me my non-sport Roadster would do 4.1 if charged in Standard mode.Well, that was disappointing. About 30 seconds and way off base. Called it a roadster, had the price and acceleration numbers wrong.
