I think the point you missed is that they implied the range was more limited than it actually was.

Either way, anyone who mistakes Top Gear for journalism is a fool, so that part isn't the real issue.
The real issue is with a supposedly trustworthy news outlet fabricating a story to support their views and getting caught doing so.

And rightly so.

You would have a bitch fit if the Worcester telegraph ran a feature about Dronetec being shit.

Nice on Tesla, everyone loves a graph especially one which outs a journalist.

I don't see anything wrong with defending themselves? They've not lashed out at the journalist or the NYT? Merely stated facts.

The NYT reported has replied. No one is looking good in this.

Exactly what I was trying to point out, it just raises the bar for this petty back and forth of replies.

Act like a professional company ffs and sort it out properly.
