Any time you design a vehicle that's different from the norm in some fundamental way, you're going to get barbs from the automotive press. They just don't much like different vehicles.
The Think was in many ways a pretty good idea for its time. IIRC, it had a lightweight plastic body with the color molded into the panels. It needed larger body gaps than metal because of plastic's expansion coefficient. Of course the auto "journalists" slammed them for that. And - horrors - they had a matte finish, not a glossy one. In their tiny world, it matters not how effective EVs are at doing what we buy an EV for - carting you from place to place. All that matters is, do they look like everything else on the road?
