Consumer Reports is always hard on any kind of performance car.

They gave the Tesla a score over 100. Never did that before. The reliability results
come from the owners who take the annual survey.

I haven't really looked at CR for years but when I was looking at
these things it looked to me that it was more the expectation of the
buyer than the absolute reliability. When I was looking at 2 virtually
identical cars, (like the GM "X" cars) using the same parts, the more
expensive cars got lower ratings than the cheaper one. I just assumed
a Cadillac owner was more of a complainer than a Chevy buyer if the
window motor was a little sluggish or the clock kept bad time.

Chances are that the Cadillac owners might have not only had higher
expectations but might have also have had experience with other cars
where things actually worked. We recently junked my wife's ancient
Honda Accord because the transmission was giving out after 18 years of
faithful service. Everything else on the car was still working
perfectly however like the A/C, power seats, power windows, power
mirrors, power sun roof, etc. None of that had ever needed servicing
in the entire 140K+ miles that we owned the car.

From my experience a Cadillac man is always a Cadillac man ... until
they aren't.
I can't imagine an Acura owner going back to a Cadillac.
