In fact, the author has explicitly confirmed that he had to do 1-2 laps of the parking lot to find the unilluminated charging station in the dark.

While that might qualify as "driving in circles", it did not appear to be intentional, and is a valid issue that one might have.



Musk probably looks on the product as his baby, and if you insult my baby, I won't be totally rational in my response.

Really, he shouldn't have mentioned that 0.6 miles at all. If 0.6 miles makes the difference in how a car performs, just drop it.

But since Musk thinks this guy was insulting his baby, the 0.6 miles (in _circles_!) looks sinister to him.


I agree with you regarding Elon's motivation, but I think Elon's reason for talking about the circling 0.6 miles wasn't to claim that it was a meaningful distance/fuel issue, but rather that it was evidence of Broder's true motivation.
