It is a very nice car because reasonable accounts have said so. The limitations of the battery technology, primarily the long time to charge, are acknowledged by everybody as far as I can tell, and emphasized by most. Most reviewers have nevertheless not found the car to be "shit" because of that. Hell, not even Top Gear called the Roadster shit (and I, unlike Musk, would classify the Top Gear review of the Roadster as "reasonable").

  Did the NYT review conclude the car was "shit"?

    No, at least they certainly did not use that word however it was a negative review. Let me rephrase: Why is the NY Time review "unreasonable" because it was negative?
