Featured CR no longer recommends Tesla

Well you could stop at Harris Ranch & Restaurant and fill-up with hydrogen.

The next 3-5 weeks look to be a good time to pickup more TSLA stock.

If you are reading this posting and you owned a Prius in 2000-2010, you are already immunized from Consumer Reports.

Now if I only had a Mirai to take advantage of that.

 

Or Disney fleet vehicles that write off the expense.

there is Luk Oil on my commute that has always been around a dollar more a gallon than stations down the block. I can only come up with illegal means for it to stay in business.

 

there's a $h1tL0ad of 'em just waiting for you - still languishing on anchor store /strip mall back lots, right near us ..... take your pick;

You don't read Consumer Reports because they published quality issues reported by Tesla owners? They have a policy of not recommending any vehicle that scores below average in reliability. NOBODY had a problem with this methodology for decades until Tesla came around.

They also reported that Tesla owners love their vehicles anyway. Don't blame the messenger.

 

Oh they have em up here too.

But for the price of a Mirai, I’ll shake things up a bit and get a Rivian.

It’ll make the folks I work with have a second look.

 

If you look down the list, you find some very nice vehicles. I have driven some near the bottom without anymore issue than ones near the top.
To me, it’s meaningless

I have also purchased cr recommended products and had trouble with them.
Reports from other owners doesn’t mean you will have a good or bad experience.

 

My issue is the number they poll. How many do they poll compared to the set of data that is available. It’s a small swath of the population, so it’s only so good, therefore only so useful.

But plenty of people buy the magazine though.

 

There are plenty of hopeless people that need the help. They probably wouldn’t buy a Tesla anyway

 

My wife is one that puts WAY too much stock in their recommendations .

But just happy the Prius is in their “recommended” list.

I’ve had a lot more painful “yes dears” over the years.

 

wow, that's really missing the point. For decades, many have disagreed with CR recommendations, anything from dryer/washers, cameras, cruise ships, TV's, car's, you name it. Whether CR is right or wrong in this instant is irrelevant. CR has a problem with being somewhere on target only about 50% of the time. That's why most people just go to Amazon and look at reviews of actual buyers nowadays.

Memory serves me right this is an old picture!

 

maybe do a drive-by, discover why a new picture would look the same as this one from five months ago or so.

A better reason to pick up more stock would be this;

The very 1st model 3 Teslas are hitting the shores of China. Anyone who's ever watched a YouTube video of China cars crashworthiness, will realize these suckers will sell like hotcakes even if CR has it right.

Far as I can tell, looks like the locals in the Far East will have a hard time wiping the smiles off their faces.

Now, that's a real Mirai image.

 

i get the impression that if i walked into a tesla store, they would tell me to order one. i think if they had inventory for sale, they would announce it. do you have info to the opposite?

 

that depends, did I walk in or Waltz in .....

i have two left feet

 

They keep sending me invites to test drive. Been told model 3’s are available now.
