Few quality adjudicators have a better reputation for unbiased analysis than Consumer Reports. Back in August, the organization awarded Tesla Motors' $130,000 Model S with the highest quality rating ever, an improbable 103 out of 100. More recently, however, the rating service has withdrawn some of its accolades. Apparently, although the car's out-of-the-showroom quality rating remains high, reports from drivers are less complimentary. Numerous reliability problems have ranged from the innovations, such as its touchscreen dashboard and state-of-the-art software, to more mundane issues such as warping brakes. Although Tesla fixes the problems under warranty at no cost to the cars' owners, reliability questions have dented the carmaker's reputation - and made investors and future car-owners at least a little skittish.
