Their auto testing is some of the best, even the automakers look to them. Having read an extensive article in Automobile magazine about the facilities CR has and who actually does the testing I have no problem with their views. Doesn't mean I will always follow them but I damn well know what not to buy.

As for the Tesla, eighty thousand dollar cars better be damn good. If Tesla can snag similar praise making a car for thirty thousand then I might become a fan.
