You mean the reporter who drove around in circles trying to kill the car off and lied about the heater settings he used, also in an attempt to kill the car? I think you missed the whole week there where the actual drive data proved he was a fraud.
He drove around a parking lot once, searching for the charging station.
I don't like that reviewer, because he's evidently a very sloppy reviewer with a pretty poor understanding of physics and mechanics involved. However, I no longer think he was gaming the system deliberately. Assume incompetence before malice.
He may very well have been incompetent, but at the very least he was dishonest too. He put a serious bias on what he "reported" in his article. It may have been a malicious attempt to kill the car for a better story, or it may have just been an attempt to cover up his own incompetence, but either way, it was a pretty bad article and deserved to be trashed.
