I don't know about points 3 and 4. I'm willing to wait until the logs are published and the full facts are out before I pass judgement. But on points 1 and 2, I think the article clearly contradicts your claims.

With regards to only partially charging the battery:

    When I first charged the car, which was equipped with
    the highest-capacity battery available, of 85 kilowatt-
    hours, at the Tesla Supercharger station in Newark,
    Del., I left it connected to the cable for 49 minutes 
    until the dash display read “Charging Complete.” The 
    battery meter read 90 percent full, with a range of 242
    miles.

This seems go pretty clearly against Tesla. When your cell phone tells you "charging complete", do you expect the battery to be only 90% full? When your put gas in your car, and the needle is on F, do you expect the tank to be 90% full, or full to (rated) capacity?

As for not plugging it in overnight, well, it's not always going to be possible to plug in the vehicle overnight, especially if you're out on a road trip. Sure, it'd be optimal if every owner could plug in their Model S every night, but the world isn't optimal and the Model S has to be robust enough to go a night without being plugged in if it has a hope of being a practical vehicle rather than a $101,000 toy.

I also understand the author in that he was 'just pretending to be your average Joe' but given that this is a special car that needs to be handled with special care that comparison just doesn't hold up.

Except that's not what Tesla's marketing claims. They claim that, unlike the Roadster, for example, the Model S is a practical car that can be used without owners paying obsessive attention to battery management and charging infrastructure.
