Can the all-electric Tesla Model S make it from Washington, D.C., to Boston without riding on a flatbed truck?
A reviewer in the New York Times said recently that he failed to make it, setting off a war of words with Tesla founder Elon Musk, who said the Times review was a "fake."
CNN took the challenge and decided to find out.
The all-electric car drove 450 miles with two stops to recharge at Tesla's Supercharger stations in Delaware and Connecticut.
