The first thing you need to understand is that while Tesla sells different version of its Model S, with different ranges, the range is actually entirely software-dependent. That is, it uses the same batteries in different cars -- it just limits how much they'll charge via software.
As a side note, I'm still not entirely sure why Techdirt finds these stories of news sites closing off comments to be such a big deal. I know we're all big fans of free speech here, but doesn't that include the right to decide whether or not you publish comments on your website?
TechDirt isn't reporting on the closing of the comments section (the "Tech") as much as they are reporting on the false narratives accompanying the closing of the comments (the "Dirt").
Here, the website claims:
[W]e will be working hard over the coming months to figure out how best to bring back debate to aljazeera.com.
Why not figure it out before closing the comments, rather than months after (which most certainly will not happen)?
Goldman also points out no serious person is likely to confuse a Zestimate with an appraisal… at least not if they expect to be taken seriously.
Without any context, "zestimate" sounds like a measure of how spicy something is, while "Scoville unit" sounds like a condo in suburban Chicago. Just don't combine the two.
Wait. Law enforcement in Houston needs surplus military equipment to rescue people?
No, they don't.
Last I've seen it's been tons of good hearted people using boats of all kinds going around and rescuing people. I don't see much need for military equipment.
Cop: I was scared. Really scared. I deserve some QI.
8th: No, no you weren't. No QI for you.
Cop: Now I'm scared.
8th: Yes. Yes you are.
Of course, the victim hasn't won anything other than the right to try his case. He'll need a jury to decide against the cops as well. And even if he wins, his kids will never be able to unsee watching their dad being arrested for no reason.
Good thing that Obama's was the most transparent administration ever. Imagine how long they would have had to wait if the administration was trying not to be transparent.
Delay itself is a reason. The DOJ may hope that Wittes gives up. Most requesters do. And, even if DOJ ultimately has to give up the information, it will be so long after the original statement that it's no longer news.

Military Equipment for Houston
No, they don't.
What about...
There is a massive need for military equipment in Houston. Operated by the military. Not by law enforcement.
