National Geographic recently produced a 45-minute video on the Tesla Motors “megafactory” in Fremont, California. Of course, it’s also a video on Tesla as a whole, the Model S, Elon Musk, and a potential electric vehicle revolution. It’s worth a watch.

I figured it was completely obvious what had happened, and that major media would be doing a good job of slamming the NYTimes and Mr Broder.

If you haven’t heard, an extremist NYTimes reporter with a clear anti-EV agenda was awarded the chance to perform a test drive of the Model S. Unfortunately, the “test results” … [continued]
