As a thoughtful consumer, I would put my family in a car with the worst paint in the world as long as the paint had nothing to do with the safety provided to my family by the vehicle.
I can easily get a car repainted but real safety has to be designed into the car from the ground up it seems to me.
I would have thought that a company that responded so quickly to the breaking problem CR identified would be window into how seriously safety is to the people of that company.
And I will note that there is no risk of Carbon Monoxide fatalities in the the entire Tesla line.
How can any combustion engine vehicle which can be fatal when used as intended get a recommendation? How many combustion engine vehicles have a real CO sensor in the car and a fuel cutoff valve interlinked with the alarm? CR could literally save lives each year if a strong stand of zero tolerance for CO related deaths. This has been going on for over a hundred years with combustion engines and it could have been stopped decades ago. Just look up the efforts of Herb Denenberg.
I can't understand how a car with such a great safety record and the high reliability of electric motors not being recommended? I hope CR quickly takes another look.
