Hot in Fever – The Tesla Testdrive

Currently hot in my [Fever](http://feedafever.com) instance – **The Tesla Testdrive**

The basics are:

1. The [New York Times had a scathing review of the Tesla Model S](http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/10/automobiles/stalled-on-the-ev-highway.html?ref=automobiles&_r=1&).

2. Telsa CEO Elon Muskc [responded with a blog post crushing the author of the Times piece and giving data to back up his conclusions](http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/most-peculiar-test-drive).

3. Other media outlets, such as the Atlantic, [have come to the Times’ defense](http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/02/elon-musks-data-doesnt-back-his-claims-new-york-times-fakery/62149/).

4. John Broader, author of the original Times piece, [also responded to Musk](http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/14/that-tesla-data-what-it-says-and-what-it-doesnt/).

Personally, if I am betting on whether the New York Times or Tesla is the one manipulating facts, I putting my money on the Times being the fact manipulator every time.
