It's a classic example of mixing facts with interpretive BS. I don't disagree with the facts: There are charging issues (shared with most non-Tesla EVs) and there are reliability issues.
But here's the interpretive BS: "lack of unique selling points" is contradicted a few sentences down by "could leave the standard Tesla Model 3 in the dust, and its opulent interior could satisfy even the most fastidious of customers". Several additional unique selling points are left unmentioned, like its still-gorgeous looks and excellent dirt-handling capabilities. But leaving that aside, it's a consumer reports piece and if you apply the criteria of an appliance, then sure, they're right.
