Tesla’s Model S P85D Scores 103 Out of 100 on Consumer Reports’ Ratings System
""They have an interesting rating system. It ends up representing the fact that all this performance and fuel efficiency comes out of a car that can seat 7 people. The variant that does 0-60 quicker and gives you AWD gives you better energy consumption. Things like these are what blew up their scale.""A few weeks ago (a month ago ?) BMW released the spec sheet / announcement for the new 7 series.  And it's just sad.I'm not even sure who it is for ... people who don't use the Internet ?  People who don't read news ?  You've got a car that is substantially better in almost every conceivable category (it generates all wheel drive with two different motors, for instance) ... and the press release for the 7 series is going on and on about how advanced their new engine is and bragging about their (laughable, in light of the model S) 0-60 time.Basically it's 20 pages of "blah blah not electric blah blah".  It's painful to look at.OBLIGATORY:  Not a huge Model S fan, at least in terms of size (not really a full sized four door) and interior appointment (which is amazingly sparse and devoid of options compared to 7/A8/S) ... and further, would much prefer a 7 series or Panamera on a fully-electric platform.  But we don't have that, so I guess we have to settle for "the best car we've ever tested".[1][1] http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/27/teslas-p85d-is-the-best-car-c...
