Of people out there are actually eighty miles an hour when he says he's turned that that that you'll he's actually.
Have to keep blasting at every board agrees.

He said that he barely made it -- charging station in Connecticut that he had to turn off the climate control you say that that's not true that you that you can actually -- you -- to heat on.
He said he spent the night hotel.
That the car had ninety miles on it before he went bad when -- turn -- on the next morning it's -- the range has slipped to 25 miles.

What would you think about reporter.
He'll let me ask you at you know they say in their statement the New York Times our reporter followed the instructions he was given in multiple conversations with Tesla.
There was no one reported detoured he was never told the plug in the car overnight in cold weather.
I'm think what do you think they would do this if you feel like they're misrepresenting.
What happened what's the motivation.
I think I think there's there's pretty obvious addition -- peppers received.
100 at a article after another it's been.
I mean of the press has been tremendously positive.
Writing one more article -- just -- poems that.
Didn't get any any quick but getting attention writing an article with with a picture of a car on on on on but expected pension.
So you're saying they're just trying to sell papers in and get clicks through ask another car has a lithium ion battery and obviously you've been watching the stories -- Boeing and elected to give you pause at all have you looked back into that.

Can't we have been an accident even adequate -- -- group -- you -- out of our.
I think the the tuition -- can -- about about a month after it SP if the -- for the pact is.
And anticipate.
At that and -- February books that are -- on a bit interesting.
What is the response from the New York Times do you what would you like them to do.
I think and I think we knew I was really need to do a proper investigation of what -- border bit.
And and assess whether that is truly in line with the principles of the New York Times value prevent not on that.
You must thank you so much for coming and I hope you'll keep us posted on what happens with this because there is fair.
