So, the Tesla Model S P85D has been given a lot of love up until today. But, nothing could have prepared anyone — even Consumer Reports — for this.
Apparently, the car is so good it actually "broke the scale" of the publisher's methodology of testing. It scored a 103 out of a 100.
We've all been made aware of the Model S P85D's staggering performance but it's still sort of a silent victory of you ask me — no pun intended.
That's because it still is an electric auto that has all of the downsides one would come to expect from a plug-in car. At this point we've all acknowledged that the vehicle, especially the P85D, is a staggering performer. But, is CR's latest revelation about it even matter?
Really, does it "breaking the scale" mean ANYTHING or is it merely great publicity for the electric auto builder? To me, the big news is still hindering on the Model X and if the company will actually sell any units. Simply put, to this writer I have found the P85D to be nothing more than a distraction that's stalling for time while we await the debut of what may be the company's biggest debut or biggest flop yet.
