Writing an in-depth feature story in the New York Times isn't really comparable to making "the slightest critical comment". I think most potential customers would be smart enough to realize Tesla's actions don't generalize from reporters to all customers. Especially since the reporter describes it as a "wondercar with California dealer plates", which means Tesla lent him the car. I don't see anything wrong with Tesla going through the logs on their own car after they got it back.
