I thought there was speculation that TM was going to do a press event along with the Founders deliveries on Friday. Not an extended test but may let the journalists take it on the test drive run or perhaps even the test track.
Jalopnik was particularly ticked off - I gather they weren't invited - and very scathing about other reviewers accepting 10 minute rides.

Anyone have an idea when the media folks will get to drive the cars? I remember with the Karma, the media got test drives well before the customers (and months before the first deliveries!).
The Slate article states this Friday reviewers will be able to drive the car for more than 10 minutes.
Here's the relevant claim by Will Oremus of Slate:
"The lowest-priced version will have a 40 KwH battery, with an advertised range of 160 miles if you keep the speedometer pegged to 55.

Just how significantly, we don’t know: Tesla hasn’t let any reviewers drive the car for more than 10 minutes. (A company rep tells me that will change Friday.)"

Kritiekpuntjes #TeslaModelS - afwerking mag/moet beter en besturing is te ongevoelig

even if you don't care about the electric drivetrain. I don't. And I want one.
