Not that everyone shouldn't be held to the same standard, but what does your average Honda Civic owner know about a $100,000 Porsche, and what are their expectations? More importantly, how does that reaction from so few become a data point worth considering?
To be fair, it is "Consumer Reports". Your points are valid, but the article also points out that there isn't sufficient data on the Porsche yet and the comments on the Tesla aren't new. I think the salient point of the article is that EV's are for the most part a new animal and having growing pains.
