Not that you'd have much doubt about the Tesla Model S's qualities as a legitimate sports-luxury聽sedan聽(that just happens to be electric) if you'd read聽The Car Connection's full review聽or noticed聽Green Car Reports' award of Best Car To Buy 2013, but聽Consumer Reports聽has confirmed our own observations, rating the Model S 99/100 in its most recent test.
That's the highest score in the brand's tests since 2007, outpacing the likes of the Porsche Panamera (itself a very impressive sports-luxury sedan), which scored 84/100, and the nearly defunct Fisker Karma, which scored a meager (and accurate) 57 points.
So what brought on聽Consumer Reports'聽near-flawless score? The combination of invigorating performance, luxury accommodations, and all-electric driving range, apparently. And the Model S may聽improve further in the future.
Now, if Tesla could just get its communications act together, it might not seem so much聽like a shaky startup, but a nascent,聽promising automaker.
