Nice to see somebody actually critically analyze the car, calling out both it's good points and bad, instead of blindly kissing up to Tesla like the rest of the media.

Anyhow, the Plaid really is an exercise in marketing. It rightfully gets criticism from driving enthusiasts, but that's not the point of this car. From acceleration to the yoke wheel to the name, Tesla carefully crafted the Plaid to maximize Tesla's media attention, not to win the approval of corner carving traditional automotive enthusiasts.
