They mentioned that the store closures are a cost-cutting move.They want to concentrate on production.
Consumer Reports has pulled their recommendation for the Model 3,citing fit and finish issues and one other criteria that I didn't capture from the broadcast.Sorry!
Yup
The CR report is remarkable, as the data from the survey which was used to pull the recommendation also showed the Model 3 to be the car its owners were most content with. The survey asked what problems users had come across but failed to investigate how these were resolved, nor did it justice to the severity of the problems. Hence the bizarre #1 user satisfaction but no recommendation... Their blinders must be comfy.
