Elon Musk is a jackass. Sure the NYT guy wasn't in 100% the clear, but Musk was a loose cannon and wasn't 100% honest with his response either.
I've seen 9 of them parked today in Orange County... None driving, and one with the vanity plate <3 KWH, but I stand by my previous opinion that the only place a Tesla truly makes sense is Monaco. Range estimates are bogus, no surprise. The X6 I'm driving says 350 miles on a tank... 200 at the most around here
