Anyone else notice that they went after Lutz for having 2 helicopters, private jets, and just not being green enough in general?

But I never heard them ask the same questions of the guy from Tesla. He dumped 55 mill into the company and acted as though it were a minor financial inconvenience. Think he might own a jet or two himself?

They also conveniently left out the fact that to this day, Tesla has only shipped 27 prototypes out of over 1,000 orders some of which are up to 5 years old.

Still, anything that gets HEV's and PHEV's some publicity in the mainstream is a good thing as far as I can see.
