I'm getting the opposite impression. I think a side effect of the hubbub is that lot of people will be woken up to the possibility that an electric car might actually work for their needs.

Musk has a larger-than-life personality, and he's showing it in his response to the NYTimes piece. At the same time, the NYTimes author did not do himself any favors either with some of his commentary and in particular with the way he treated the car and the advice he got on his trip. I mean, come on! What other car in its class comes with so much support?
