The New York Times found in Tesla, as CNN did it the same way to see who is telling the truth

After the publication of logs from the Tesla, it was the turn of John Broder, author of the New York Times to respond to Tesla and to defend himself in an attempt to pick up the asimazefta.

The Broder says that the car was delivered to him without the necessary instructions to achieve maximum autonomy. He continued saying that he was informed by early to take certain steps so three hours since he started his journey, began to appear the first problems. He says then called a Tesla dealer who advised him to turn off the cruise control, while speeding up and slowing down the car so as to exploit the energy recovery system. However, the latter was denied by the Tesla, as this further reduces the autonomy of the batteries.


The Broder continues to text reply and said that the other day driving the Model S Tesla called on to give advice because estimated autonomy, dropped suddenly during the night. According to Broder, spoke with Christina Ra and Ted Merendino of Tesla, who advised him to begin "recycling operation" of the battery so as to restore the autonomy, but throwing the end of the procedure, which lasted 30 minutes, autonomy fell further, from 40 km to 30 km.

The Broder response to Elon Musk that charge the battery for just 51 km to go, although it was still 98 km, said the staff of Tesla said that it needs to charge for just 1 hour the battery of the car, as if he was moving with it with moderate speed, then the range would increase. As he says, the advice has proved overly optimistic because eventually the Model S battery ran out 22 miles before the next charging station.

Regarding the accusation that he cycles into a little parking, the Broder justified the move, since trying to find the charger of Tesla in the darkness.

As for the accusation that never left the car battery, the Broder said that the dashboard went out, while the batteries were not so little power to release the electric parking brake. This also echoes the driver of the crane went to pick up the Model S, which confirmed that the car had no battery, not to get ahead in the engine, but also to solve the handbrake.

In that category charge your car the last time for only 28% said that he did this one and it was told to do by Tesla while on the fact that although he put the cruise control at 87 km / h, can not be explain how the logs of Tesla show that he had set the cruise control at 97 km / h, traveling for about 16 km

Nor can it explain why the cruise control went for several km to 72 km / h. The Broder suggests that this may be because this Model S wheels wearing 19 "all-weather tires, not the rims 21" with summer tires fitted usually the Model S.

The CNN decided to do it on the same route with a Model S to see which of them is telling the truth to CNN to show that the truth tells us the Tesla.

The truth is that no one can draw firm conclusions about what actually happened in this test drive. Both sides have their own version, and whether you have a draw firm conclusion on what really can be done?
