Hello and welcome to the Saturday February 23rd 2019 edition of Tesla Daily on

official Tesla Podcast.

My name is Rob Maower coming to you on Saturday instead of Friday today because last

night I didn't quite have time to look into what I wanted to look into, as thoroughly

as I wanted to look into it, and that was the Consumer Reports reliability scoring for

the Tesla Model 3. I hope you guys are okay with that I would much rather spend the

time to do thorough analysis and research rather than trying to force something out just to kind of hit

that deadline of doing things every day of the week.

And that definitely still is my intent, don't get me wrong.

I think one of the best things about this podcast is the frequency of it and the timeliness of the

analysis that I provide. But as I mentioned before I am trying to find just a little bit

more balanced because sometimes that pushes me just a little bit further than probably

I should and the last last thing that I want to do is

put out an episode just to kind of check that box. All right so moving on to consumer

reports then just continuing the conversation today around consumer reports removing

their recommendation for the model 3 based on reliability

feedback from their owner surveys. The reason that I have continued to look into this

and wanted to continue discussing it is because after I recorded the episode on it

previously a little bit more information came out on the internet for non-consumer

reports subscribers specifically the individual category reliability rankings for the model three

started being shared around which led to further questioning of why

consumer reports would pull their recommendation based on these ratings.
