Consumer Reports predicts "average" reliability for Model 3; Tesla takes offense
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/19/con...slas-model-3-to-have-average-reliability.html
Hey, "average" isn't bad at all, right?? IIRC, the '17 Volt has a "below average" reliability rating by CR.
But, as usual, Tesla takes a perfectly fine "average" projected reliability rating as a slam, and responds accordingly.
"Consumer Reports has not yet driven a Model 3, let alone do they know anything substantial about how the Model 3 was designed and engineered," said a Tesla spokesperson. "Time and time again, our own data shows that Consumer Reports' automotive reporting is consistently inaccurate and misleading to consumers."
That's like 1 step short of calling CR #FAKENEWS!!
Maybe if Tesla didn't want "predicted" reliability ratings, they get some REAL Model 3's into the hands of review mags? How about that concept?
