Of course, the entire debacle can be summed up with the following exchange:
Q: "How many miles did you have left to drive on the final leg?"
Broder: "61"
Q: "And how many miles did your car tell you that you could travel before recharging?"
Broder: "32"
Of course, Broder claims that Tesla told him it was OK to leave. I think this is bullshit, but will never know. The fact is he basically was stupid enough to essentially leave a gas station with half a tank when he had a full tanks worth of distance to travel. The only way you would do this is if you want to get stuck. I don't care how scientific you are trying to be, you wouldn't risk being stuck out in the cold with a dead car unless you really wanted that to happen. Why we should take anything this man writes about cars seriously is beyond me.
