How Tesla Managed to Significantly Elevate Its Rank and Performance
Customer Reports attributed Tesla’s outstanding improvement to the excellence of Model S and Model 3. The two models even belong to the top 10 picks of the year.
Unfortunately, Model X did not perform as well as the preceding during the test. The SUV did not indicate any much significant improvement after being nominated as one among top 10 least-reliable vehicles in 2019.
Besides the test results of the three models, that was not the only reason of the improvement in terms of rank. Accordingly, its superior energy efficiency also becomes the deciding factor during the assessment.
Tesla’s rising performance on this year’s rankings suggests that electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer has been considerably advancing over the last years. This might mark the beginning of EV manufacturer’s innovative technology on highly-regarded engineering with a more stable manufacturing system.
