| > Does that include the episode on Top Gear that was scripted into breaking their Tesla down in the middle of a test run? Edmunds is a serious car site, and not an entertainment show like Top Gear. The statistics include Consumer Reports, who surveyed over 1400 Tesla S owners and have come to the same reliability issue as Edmunds. http://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla-reliability-doesnt... --- And unlike Top Gear, which seems to be an anti-Tesla idiotic entertainment show. Consumer Reports was pro-Tesla until the survey came in. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/27/teslas-p85d-is-the-best-car-c... Unfortunately, Consumer Reports does not do long-term reliability tests (see Edmunds for that sort of stuff). Instead, Consumer Reports has a very robust survey methodology. They rely upon a survey conducted at a later date. So when their survey results came in that documented the large number of Tesla problems, they had to retreat from their superb rating. A 103 out of 100 by Consumer Reports (initially). And even then, the Consumer Reports guys could not refute the reliability concerns. |
