Latest video from Milford. Very positive.
Behind the Wheel with Phil Lebeau
Anyone who said that Elon made a mistake by fighting back may now eat their proverbial hat.
This is amazing coverage. Tesla can edit this down to a 4 minute piece where Phil starts out with range anxiety and looses it in the end.
Getting a veteran car reporter that much seat time to fall in love with the car is PRICELESS. He answers reporters questions, and they are even envious of his drive.
I would not normal recommend a trip like this until someone had the car for a week or so but Phil has picked it up when Broder just screwed up, freaked out and called Tesla every few minutes. I think Tesla has a new fan in Phil.
Anyone notice the slight Tesla grin on his stoic reporter face as time passed?
The recharge rate drops off fast as the battery fills up due to how Li-Ion batteries work. The 150 miles in 30 minutes is only if the battery is nearly empty.They than said that they would be at the Supercharger for about one hour, but to top up the 95 miles should be considerable faster right? (Presuming it was full to start with) What am I missing?
I'm impressed that Phil had the Model S pricing information right on the tip of his tongue. The only thing he neglected to mention is that the Superchargers are FREE.
Did anyone else think that he should have actually parked the car at Milford? I mean common, he was half way in and cars were going around him in the video...

I agree, a key piece of this saga is the courage and leadership that Elon displayed. His confidence and use of data verses bias knocked a Home Run for the Tesla brand.
Everyone is piling on...Broder is so toast!
