Tesla Motors established a new record with its electric car design in the testings of
Consumer Reports, which had to adjust its scoring system since the analyzed model
surpassed the normal benchmarks.

The original Model S sedan scored a 99 out of 100.

The new type possesses many improvements over the previous plan, but Consumer Reports did discuss a few minor problems concerning the differences of the
two.

An Electric Car Establishes a Higher Benchmark
![Page 7: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
After the alteration of the scoring system, the Model S P85D ended up with a 100.
![Page 8: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The ratings now compensates for the new all-time
high.
![Page 9: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The electric car accelerates from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds.

This sports a two second advancement over the previous Model S.

Regardless of the automobile’s raw innate power, Consumer Reports focuses a majority
of its opinion on a vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Tesla Motors even has intentions of increasing the production amount of its
manufacturing plants.
![Page 13: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
However, a few problems exist.
![Page 14: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The car evaluated by Consumer Reports costs well above $100,000.
![Page 15: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tesla Motors resolves to build a more affordable type that roughly hits a $35,000
price tag.
![Page 16: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
With competition in mind, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord hybrids cost about $5,000
to $10,000 less.

Also, there remains the presence of Lithium.

It stays as a finite resource, and it counts partially to the expensive cost of Tesla
Motors’ electric car batteries.

Hopefully, StoreDot of Israel can resolve the battery concern with its new techniques in
the works.

While only important for a luxury car, field testers of Consumer Reports complained
that sound in the cabin appeared loudly and the insides did not come across as
comfortable as the previous Model S.

Ambitions for an Electric Car
![Page 22: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Tesla Model 3 continues as the budget version of the Model S P85D.
![Page 23: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Its itinerary includes a 2018 release.
![Page 24: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hopefully, the vehicle might rate similarly in driving experience, performance, and safety.

I only know a limited amount about Tesla Motors, so I hope that it also keeps a good range of reliability when compared to the
most popular models of Toyota and Honda.
![Page 26: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Still, Tesla Motors proves that power can integrate with efficiency.
![Page 27: An electric car beats its own record](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051708/5888c3a51a28ab200f8b5bbd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
As a student, I can’t afford one, but I can certainly admire it.

I personally plan on eventually owning a Toyota Camry of some sort.

By that time, maybe an autonomous vehicles can compete with the elegance of
an electric car.
