Apparently, we can't read this without paying WSJ for it. Is there another source?

Elon Musk, the head of U.S. electric-car company Tesla Motors Inc., apologized to customers in Norway-the company's No. 2 market-for technical glitches that made it hard for owners to charge their cars.

"I'd like to extend my apologies," Mr. Musk, founder of the California auto maker, said at a meeting over the weekend with more than...

.

Does seem rather incomplete.

I don't seem to have any problem.....but this sort of thing does occur sometimes, I just search the title of the article in Google news and read an alternate source,,,,.

I had this problem with WSJ when I wanted to send a copy of Al Lewis's column to some friends. I thought I could forward an online file from the WSJ but it was not possible. I ended up scanning the print copy from my local newspaper and sending the image. I later found out I could subscribe to Al Lewis's blog and get it directly to my email.

Thanks, to all of you. I guess I'm wondering why CR4 would post a blog that requires paying, unless you know another trick (like subscribing to a blog and getting it in your e-mail).

Maybe CR4 could post a disclaimer and pointers to how to get the article, if they are going to post it?

In addition, I'm also thinking that this is a pretty useless article for a science/engineering blog. It seems to me to be pretty much of a non-starter for us, since we didn't have anything to do with the issue, Elon Musk would be talking directly to any of us who bought a Tesla, etc., but not via CR4.

So I guess what I'm saying is "uhhm, ho hum, what is WORTH reading about today?" And if it's hard to see this as worth reading WITHOUT the subscription issues, The irritation they bring just make it less worth my while.

But maybe that's just me.
