If I were Tesla PR, I already orchestrated the entire thing, including instructing the CNN crew to fully recharge at every station and not stop overnight.
The overnight stop is really a red herring: The battery only lost about 5-7% of capacity overnight, which is much less than the difference between a standard charge (90% of capacity) and how much the Times charged the battery (72%). Actually, it's too bad CNN didn't stop someplace for the night just to prove this.
