Both look great. I'm seriously thinking of a Model S as my next car. Need to see if I can get a test drive...
Funny... I saw a Tesla Model S for the first time on Friday.
Then - saw ANOTHER one just yesterday.
In Arlington!!!

(The Seattle folks will know why that is not usual)

Tesla's blog post in response is very interesting. Includes graphs and maps from the cars logging system that contradict what the reporter stated in the article...

Jalopnik's post on the subject raises some doubts about some of the doubts that were raised about the reporter's piece.

There's definitely a lot of back-and-forth going on.

The data Tesla has is very interesting though. The Jalopnik article does point out the small parking lot item in Musk's blog as controversial -- and I agree with Jalopnik; Musk's point was made prior to that...

On a side note, I was poking around the Tesla site today. This page is really well done -- the interactive info graphics are very good marketing...
