As you've said, those people are driving conventional petrol cars, not the Tesla. I have a hard time seeing anyone with the early adopter mindset buying a Tesla, and operating it as poorly as the NYT author.

Yeah, but still, maybe NYT is unwittingly doing them a favor by showing what people will do if a Tesla gets to be a status symbol and not a hobby car. As soon as you attract the masses, you are attracting idiots.

That's a good point. I don't think it's possible to build an idiot-proof car.
