#2Did consumer reports review a Model S 70D? I would think that would be a more practical car for consumer reports to review.

#3That is frankly ridiculous.
Tesla's previous car getting 99/100 (which never happened before) wasn't enough, so now they push 103/100?
I understand that its a great car, but if the consumer report scale is out of 100, then it should stay out of 100. Pushing their scale beyond the boundary causes a "Spinal tap" situation and I fail to take the review seriously anymore.
It goes up to 11 belongs in comedy movies, not serious reviews.

"They have an interesting rating system. It ends up representing the fact that all this performance and fuel efficiency comes out of a car that can seat 7 people. The variant that does 0-60 quicker and gives you AWD gives you better energy consumption. Things like these are what blew up their scale."

"They discus the report in this video. It's sort of like a podcast in format, for those to whom it may matter"

I guess. I mean they're both incredibly small niche vehicle volumes that it seems a bit strange to split hairs on which model.

Exactly my thought when reading the article. They even state that it can't go past it "by definition". Well, apparently it did. I can only imagine marketing and sales departments being involved as I cannot imagine a person who did the math part agreeing his scale could be extended to 103.
This is a big red flag for me to not take this review, and the other reviews of tesla mobiles seriously. Some happy greenwheels is upping the ratings I guess. It is like browsing imdb for movies which score 8/10 or up and finding a movie which scores 10/10 with 5 reviews...
Oh, and 1 for your spinal tap reference.

Blame TechCrunch for the blogspammy headline. The original Consumer Reports review states clearly that it scored a 103 based on their existing framework, which they adjusted in lieu of that fact.
| In rating it, however, we faced a quandary: The Tesla initially scored 103 in the Consumer Reports' Ratings system, which by definition doesn’t go past 100. 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.
