This fire is not going to turn, because every day new people willing to take more and more wood. The last to contribute their bit to this story were the guys from CNN. As you remember, all the controversy started with an editor of The New York Times, which after trying a trip of 322 miles, over “failing” to run out of battery.

Discrediting Tesla quickly replied, calling the report of “lie” and relying on telemetry built into the vehicle, which showed that the journalist had been shooting for 5 minutes in a parking lot, circling meaningless to discharge the battery had unplugged the Model S charging points before the count, and had circulated at speeds much higher than those mentioned in the article.

Though publications like Wired have requested access to that information telemetry, Tesla has refused to make public the data in full, leaving his “proof” as a single entry in the blog. The Times has not officially responded to the charge of Tesla, which could end up in court.
