Whipped Cream Difficulties

Jesus, Joseph, and Mary on a pogo stick, if I had known the Tesla story was going to cause this much trouble, I wouldn’t have linked to it.

Since I did, though, I feel obligated to link to updates. In what I think is chronological order:

“A Most Peculiar Test Drive”, Tesla’s blog post giving their view of what the data shows.

Hacker News discussion of “A Most Peculiar Test Drive”, which has some good points in it. (It also has a lot of “The New York Times is a shill for Big Oil!” (Oh, wait. You’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.)  and “Any publication that gives the Tesla a good review is going to get driven out of business by the car companies!” (This, of course, explains why Motor Trend is no longer publishing. Oh, wait…))

“Elon Musk’s Data Doesn’t Back Up His Claims of New York Times Fakery” from The Atlantic Wire.

“That Tesla Data: What It Says and What It Doesn’t”, the NYT response to the Tesla blog post.
