Top Gear's review was mostly very positive. Tesla picking up on the "bad" only advertised the "bad" to any one who hadn't seen the Top Gear review. Now we might see the same thing again here with the NYT.

I'm all for electric cars, seems to me to be the future. But if Musk and Co will insist on reacting like a scolded car every time some reviewer says something negative, in a really over sensitive way, they aint never gonna look good.

On top of that, they are aggravating relationships that could be crucial in the future. Dunno about the NYT, but I can see Top Gear just ignoring them, even when the car does improve. And there would come a time when TG does say, "yes this car is now practical". Well, there might have been. Who knows now.

Sad that Musk is still crying over the TG "BS" too. Seems a bit of a grudge holder, even when proved wrong in law.

I really like Musk's usual style and what he stands for, I also think he is doing a great job developing these cars, and soon, he will get there, but all this is a real turn off to me. And I can't help thinking he is making his own life worse with these reactions.
