Consumer Reports takes delivery of their Model S

[Joyrider]

Perhaps they could speed up the process if they brought in John Broder as a guest tester.

Ok so how does the Tesla not get mentioned after the next question in the video?

Are there any 5-6 passenger cars with high ratings, performance, safety, power and gas mileage? My 82-year-old mother can't climb into SUVs and I alos drive with my 2 grandchildren in car seats, so I want a 4-door hatchback station wagon type vehicle.

No grab handles for the mom.

Note that "gas mileage" indicates an initial narrow-thinking question.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I kept yelling "What about the Model S?!" at my phone.

This was what they said when I asked them about an ETA: https://twitter.com/CRcars/status/326416420898471937

Too late to impact my purchase decision, but I'll still be interested to see what they say.

That and NHTSA.

The 'no ducking for elderly' actually doesn't describe the Model S. Took my 95 year old grandfather around and he did find it difficult to get in/out of.

I think they were fair.

Good comment tho. It does deserve recognition for just how large the car is.

I met the CR reporter charging at Milford - think he's as impressed as we are, and will report objectively.

He participated in the Westport Rally and asked some of us for our PoV. He posted on the CR Blog:

Tesla owners gather at fun-filled rally to compete and swap stories

I'm confidendent that his write up will be positive and accurate.

CR just posted a video of the Model S drifting. A teaser for their review?

Here is the story on Drifting on CR website: http://news.consumerreports.org/car...me-to-drift.html?EXTKEY=I93YT01&CMP=OTC-YUTBE along with a notice that the full road test review will be published tomorrow May 9th.

NO WAY! That is amazing timing. So, the shorts are getting squezed by the bullish Q1 results, the great projections going forward, and then are going to be put into more pain when they realize how many shares are still short as NASDAQ publishes more #s, on top of it all, consumer reports comes out and says "best car they have ever driven"? Plus Elon apparently has a lot of confidence in the supercharger announcement next week.
Its raining money for the TSLA investors it seems.
