After tepid commentary on how poor the thing drives, Mr. Manjoo gushes that the saving grace is it will allow him to drive ANYWHERE! Just what we need - new auto technology that encourages people to continue driving. At 33 MPG (on the best day) this is no breakthrough, rather a distinct step backward from, say, a Prius. It's small enough to fit on a bike path, so we have that dangerous displacement to look forward to as well. Methinks the Machinist is way off base here; this is the wrong message.
