Will it be packaged in an Elongated container?

Yes, and it will be coated in "Musk Oil"!

Thanks for the informative presentation Richard. I hope to see follow-up materials and a bibliography.
Also thanks to Richards Goldsmithing because I was the lucky draw winner of the custom Tesla ring. I will wear it with pride.
Winter continues up the 400 with a fatal collision involving a jackknifed tractor trailer shortly after we passed. The highway remains closed until noon.
Resolved: do not remove snow tires until the end of April, or perhaps leave them on all year!

Two articles in the Globe and Mail today about Tesla. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/

The one arguing against Tesla, by the well-known Jeremy Cato, is full of errors, false assumptions, skewed anecdotes, and sly omissions. He says the Model S has been succeeded by the Model S70D, and mixes up the Model X with the Model 3 --- and that's only the beginning.

I've written to both authors and the Globe's Public Editor. Have a look. If you like unscientific Internet polls, the paper has one asking which article you favour.

 

[mrElbe]

What an utter nitwit that Cato is. He can't even comprehend that a 70D is a member of the Model S family. Then in one comment reply he states that the Model S is not produced any more. And then the Globe prefaces his article as "Special to The Globe and Mail". It sure is special!

 

[kbeckley]

I've written a few responses as well. I think the guy in the comments purporting to be Cato is a troll because his ramblings are inane.

 

[rapoport3a]

From private correspondence with this cretin, I assure you that his comments on his own article are his. Ordinarily I'd say ignore his type, but it's probably better to inundate the comments section with criticisms of his article. He'll ignore them, but at least he'll shut up.
