That was an odd review:

In truth, it's a pretty good truck hamstrung by a series of needless compromises for the sake of vanity.

Nothing in that review justified the notion of it being a "pretty good truck." The various "compromises" (i.e., asinine design choices) were substantial - particularly the visibility issues. Every paragraph in that review was pretty critical.

I think they threw in that "pretty good truck" line to appease the Tesla cult.

All the negativity and not one bit about the stainless exterior. I think they summed it up great though. Once the new novelty wears off, I don't think owners will be pleased with their purchase.

" The massive windshield wiper doesn't have an automatic mode yet, so turning it on requires pushing a touch-sensitive button on the steering wheel and then selecting a speed on the screen. "

Wait .. it doesn't even have auto wipers? I mean the ones on other Teslas suck .. but not having it at all? This is technologically advanced?
