Consumer Reports says Tesla misunderstands positive Model 3 rating

Tesla criticised the rating, saying it's important to note that Consumer Reports has not yet driven a Model 3.

DETROIT: Consumer Reports said on Friday that Tesla Inc had apparently misunderstood the "average" reliability rating the magazine assigned to the electric carmaker's Model 3 sedan this week, calling it generally "positive" for an all-new vehicle.

Tesla criticised the rating on Thursday, saying "it's important to note that Consumer Reports has not yet driven a Model 3, let alone do they know anything substantial about how the Model 3 was designed and engineered."
