Tesla Model S topped the rating by Consumer Reports

The respected consumer magazine Consumer Reports called the Tesla Model S winner of consumer satisfaction in the category "Cars" from 2013 onwards.  According to the editorial, electric sedan scored a record over the past decade, score: 99% of owners confidently stated that being faced with a choice, to acquire this same model again.


However, the sample is not sufficiently representative.  For the ranking this year Consumer Reports processed more than 350000 reviews owners 285 cars 2010-2013 model year; the Tesla from this number accounted for only just over 600 people.
 However, this figure is consistent with the actual market share of novelties: at present, the Park in the United States much more than 17000 units, that is, almost everyone was able to interview the owner of the twentieth.
 Note that the electric Model S pushed the hybrid Chevrolet Volt, who headed the rating for two consecutive years, and in 2013, has slid to third place, losing to the new Porsche Boxster.  According to the editor of road section of CR Anita Lam, the novelty factor might play into the hands of models: while Tesla is on the crest of high fashion, the result is understandable, but maintained its leadership over the years will not be easy.
Well, let's see how attitudes to the cleaner by sedanu if the American NHTSA still will make Tesla Motors to review in connection with several cases of fires.  In the meantime, it should be noted that an absolute outsider ranking CR became the Nissan Versa (in Europe known as Tiida), for the second year in a row, gaining less than 45% of the vote, owners.
