The all-electric Tesla Model S is Consumer Reports’ all-around top-rated car for the 2014 model year.
The magazine praised the Tesla’s“blistering acceleration, razor-sharp handling, compliant ride” as well as its roomy, flexible interior which can seat up to seven people, provided two are small children. Last year, Consumer Reports called the Model S the best car it had ever tested.
In the auto industry, Consumer Reports is widely considered to be the single most influential magazine among car shoppers. Published by the not-for-profit group Consumers Union, Consumer Reports purchases all the cars it tests rather than relying on vehicles supplied by manufacturers.
Tesla Motors Inc. may have it’s eye on New Mexico as the future home of a $2 billion “mega” battery factory to supply its electric cars. The plant could employ up to 2,000 people. Let us pray on this as New Mexico needs jobs badly.
