Tesla Motors (Nasdaq: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is getting a little bit of redemption Tuesday following a New York Times piece by John Broder on the Model S sedan last week.
The piece largely criticized the Model S and Tesla, saying the vehicle came up short of expectations. Musk refuted the allegations and posted data logged from the test drive as evidence.
NY Times editor Margaret Sullivan issued a response over the weekend, giving her take on the test drive. Sullivan said that Broder may not have always used 'good judgement' during his drive, taking "casual and imprecise notes." She didn't agree with Musk's assertion that Broder was out to sabotage Tesla.
All in all, Sullivan tries to be impartial about the test, while maintaining the integrity of the NY Times.
Though Tesla is up over 1 percent early, the stock is still down about 4.4 percent since the close on February 8th.
