Consumer Reports is ready to proclaim a new EV champion, despite the fact that the Model 3 has been their top choice for the past two years. The Model 3 has been removed as CR's EV Top Pick. According to editors, the Mustang is more practical and has better first-year reliability. A better ride and reduced noise help.
Ford's BlueCruise driver assist technology gave the Mach-E an edge, thanks to a more effective drive monitoring system that now counts toward vehicle scores. The autopilot was docked for functioning while drivers looked away.
The Model 3 is recommended by Consumer Reports because of its performance, long range, charging network and technology. The outlet couldn't recommend the Model Y as an EV Top Pick. The Model 3 is an average vehicle in the lineup, but the SUV-like ride ofTesla is much worse.
This isn't going to help the relationship between Consumer Reports andTesla. CR pulled recommendations for some models after the two disagreed on test results. There are still concerns about the reliability ofTesla. In the last few months, the EV producer has issued a number of recalls and owners have reported build quality issues. It didn't help the company's chances that this cost them the lead.
