I don't think so. He did almost everything he could so it would fail. Read between the lines.
Tesla suggests he stick to the speed limit (55-60mph), log evidence suggest he was at least 10mph over that
Tesla suggests full range charging the Model S on long road trips, what does he do? Unplugs before it's completed.
Tesla suggest leaving the car plugged in, if at all possible, especially overnight, especially in cold weather without the car being garaged. No effort was put in to even find a 120v outlet.
I call a spade a spade, and a shill is a shill, even if he works for the NY times.
I'll bet I could do that drive 10 times in a row and not have an issue. There is a group on the TMC forum who is going to do just that, BTW: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/13792-Recreate-the-NYT-Road-Trip-and-show-them-how-its-done" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;!
