The problem with this "wrap-up" of the drama is that it fails to leave the reader with a clearer understanding of if the Tesla Model S is an automobile that has serious engineering problems. Instead, it dives deeper into the "controversy" which isn't really the point. Politics and Musk/Broder egos aside, any competent third party observer can come to the conclusion that the review was flawed and hence should not should influence the buying decision of a potential Model S customer one way or the other. This is the entire role of the NYT in this issue: to inform the consumer. Instead of providing clarity for the consumer the NYT continues to prefer to dive into meta-talk about itself and its story (as the media loves to do, report on itself) and fails to call a spade a spade. Pathetic.
