Ask Jeremy Clarkson what happens if you give Tesla a poor review.
Typical “non biased” consumer reports.

CR has been full of lefties for years, especially the dumb ones who can’t locate the on button on a coffee pot or a sweeper and then moan loudly about their own ignorance. They never met a government regulation they didn’t like and, like their DC brethren, are constantly on the hunt for a freebie.
When people tell me they make buying decisions based on CR ratings I steer well clear and advise them to remove all sharp objects from their homes.
This is a Ninety Thousand Dollar Car.
In a matter of moments I can pick out (from among dozens of cars) three $30,000 cars that are better than the Tesla. In terms of economy, mileage, value, reliability, resale, insurance costs, and so on and so on.
But who am I? I will defer to our CR overlords.

Look at that S car go!
IIRC Consumer Reports got busted years ago for uprating certain Japanese cars for financial gain.
All it needs is a gasoline engine - even a Prius-like hybrid system - and the car might even be worthy of that praise.
Consumer Reports lost any remaining credibility when they endorsed ObamaCare. They are for the elites and not for the middle class.
I have a suggestion...
If they were trying to make it look like every other bland luxury sedan on the market...they succeeded.
It is an amazing car. however, it is strictly for around town and is for this who want another bobble that demonstrate a certain exclusivity ...
I’ve been in one and a Fiskar. Beautiful but, i prefer CO2generators
I dropped Consumer Reports years ago due to their extreme left leaning reviews.
I dropped my subscription to CR after several years because their parent organization continually spammed my mailboxes (email and snail) with propaganda for leftist causes, especially Obamacare. They are not for the consumer. They are for big government control.
Proves that just because an organization refuses to accept advertising does not mean they don’t have an agenda
Hmm...so, either it's the greatest car ever or it's completely useless to you. Not much middle ground there...
Over @ BI they are having a Telgasam about the profit numbers not being bad and the stock went nuts...
* Yet Ford's P/E is no where near the market average, and they are really challenging Toyota's Hybrid Dominance...
* The Telsa is a glorified Lotus Elise with an E-Drive Train, which to me is like many women in Hollyweird, better bodies by Dow-Corning if ya get my drift.
* My auto gnome has noted those that really know their stuff laugh at this crap, and don't even get me started on the Fisker...
An All-American Non-union product that is years ahead of its nearest competitor. I agree with CR on this one.
Model S is the Model T for the coming generation of electric automobiles.
That is the absolute mark of death. That group should be renamed "Collusionist-Insider-Communist Reports".
