I play a nice person on twitter.
i HATE Consumer Reports.
i truly truly do.
an old relic of journalism best suited to test microwave ovens and dishwashers, NOT cars.
whether CR gives the Model S a glowing, red-circle review or a crippling, black-circle review, it will not change my opinion of the car i'm about to receive even one iota.
I care about the public perception of EVs. And Consumer Reports is respected by a very large percentage of that population. So what you or I think of CR is immaterial (imo). What CR thinks of the Model S matters. We all still remember how they bashed Fisker. We all remember how Top Gear represented the Roadster. That stuff sticks around for a long time.
