Within a day, the automotive [[weblog|blog]] site [[Jalopnik]] reported that the sounds accompanying footage of the car shown during the story were actually sounds from a traditional gasoline engine dubbed over the footage, when in reality the electric car makes no such sounds.<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS Says It Made 'Audio Editing Error' With Tesla On 60 Minutes|url=http://jalopnik.com/cbs-says-it-made-audio-editing-error-with-tesla-on-60-1555657624|last=Estrada|first=Zac|work=Jalopnik.com|date=March 31, 2014}}</ref> CBS released a statement explaining that the sound was the result of an audio editing error, and subsequently removed the sound from the online version of the piece.
