IIRC, Jaguar took 200 cars and beat them up on road race tracks, frozen lakes, desert sand, and public roads.emgf said:...
Yes it was because of a Consumer Report article . But my point is that Tesla solved
the issue over the week end by OTA ; they announced it and they did it 'which means
that they were in control ( although they made a mistake initially)
Do you think Tesla did any testing of the Model 3 before selling them? Remember that the original spring rate was correct for a laden pickup. Tooth damage, kidney belt stuff.
Before Tesla did anything about the brakes, there was a published story where one of the first owners went metal-on-metal in 4 laps at Laguna Seca IIRC. It would be many months before Consumer Reports found the brakes did not work right. IIRC, it was 10 months before CR found the brake problem.
Consumer Reports ended up pulling their recommendation for the Model 3 about eight weeks ago due to quality issues.
