The next time the ombud's jalopy breaks down she had better not expect a lift from John Broder. Bonus: Expert [family] opinion, the better to avoid agreeing with "a seasoned and respected journalist." Still nothing to challenge Broder's unexceptionable thesis, that batteries run down faster when it's cold.
Quote:
Over the past several days, I have questioned and listened to Mr. Broder, Mr. Musk, two key Tesla employees, other Times journalists, the tow-truck driver and his dispatcher, and a Tesla owner in California, among others. I am aware of other, much more successful test drives in recent days by Model S owners and media organizations that are intended to show that the charging stations work perfectly well (although those tests lacked an element of Mr. Broder’s drive: one of the coldest days of the year). And I’ve read hundreds of e-mails and reader comments. I’ve also had a number of talks with my brother, a physician, car aficionado and Tesla fan, who has helped me balance what might have been a tendency to unconsciously side with a seasoned and respected journalist – my own “confirmation bias.”
