Question for you then:
Let's say your priority is reliability and you have to choose between a brand new Toyota model or a brand new Fiat model. Are you swayed by past manufacturer performance ? The statistical answer is, you should be.
My only comment is that Tesla is too young a company, with too few products under its belt, to give much credence to its manufacturing history. So while I accept the notion that CR is using I find it to be too blunt an instrument to mean much of anything in this case.
I give CR credit where it is due, and they continue to provide a valuable consumer service and protection. That said, I cancelled my subscription over annoyance with their auto reviews. I don't think they are wrong per se, but they have a built-in bias towards the fifty-ish, fat, and pampered crowd I do not belong too, so their conclusions and report cards kept striking a discordant cord with me. I do think they represent the buying preferences of White middle class America quite well.
Why ?I (the consumer) would be swayed by a company's past performance.

honestly didn't know that Consumer Reports was still in business, let alone had anyone actually paying attention to them, be it print or digital. People really give companies money in exchange for op-ed tire kick reviews in the days of Yelp, YouTube, Amazon, and search engines?
Or a rattle in a Model X is about the same at exploding airbags in others.
As others have mentioned you either are ignorant of the Consumer Reports annual survey process or a complete idiot for lying when the facts are present online and on the CR web site
CR has been "reviewing" cars for many decades pretty much the same way: go around the car once, turn the radio on/off, ask the reviewer's neighbor how s/he like their car. That's it.
Yes those are your choices when you say absurd things like the above.
Reports like these wont help refute CR reliability predictions: We may possibly have the first non-rebootable, truly dead Model 3 post-delivery. • r/teslamotors
