Tesla Model S P85D is the best car ever tested by Consumer Reports with 103 of 100 score

That is exactly what Tesla did with their Model S P85D according to Consumer Reports, the non-profit organization that is known for not accepting any advertising as well as buying all products tested.

“The Tesla initially scored 103 in the Consumer Reports’ Ratings system, which by definition doesn’t go past 100,” Consumer Reports said of their review. “The car set a new benchmark, so we had to make changes to our scoring to account for it. Those changes didn’t affect the scores of other cars.”

With the highest ranked car in their history as well as scoring 100 of 100 points, Consumer Reports says that the P85D isn’t perfect. With a 200 plus mile charge range, the car is limited to drives if charging stations are not around. The car is also louder than its sister Model S and doesn’t seem to have the luxury materials of other cars in its price range. Last but not least, priced at over $127,000 does not make it a car for the average person.

Nonetheless, the Tesla Model S P85D is being called a “powerful statement of American startup ingenuity.”
