Tesla CEO: New York Times Article Is
In response, to Musk's charges that the article was misleading, the New York Times issued a statement, calling the article completely factual.
"Any suggestion that the account was 'fake' is, of course, flatly untrue," the statement said. "Our reporter followed the instructions he was given in multiple conversations with Tesla personnel. He described the entire drive in the story; there was no unreported detour. And he was never told to plug the car in overnight in cold weather, despite repeated contact with Tesla."
There is the NYT response. Sounds like a legal persons spin. It's hard to dispute the cars log of where it went and what it did.
If the article specifically doesn't mention the lack of a full charge and the detour where he was speeding then the article was definitely spun to create controversy.
