Consumer Reports is not an organization I very much trust, having been known to play politics with products but this is really unprecedented
Elon Musk's vision for the future of American manufacturing prowess ought to start and end with his perspective in design, products and production
His cars are not for everyone but certainly will have people think about his products in a way to reflect the possibility of an American resurgence when Jan 2017 rolls around

Did you know that Consumer Reports is owned by Consumers Union? It is a nonprofit. LOL! A nonprofit! I’ve been posting about these bogus nonprofits that are actually real businesses for many years here on Free Republic. Consumers Union is one of the bigger jokes that pretends to be a CHARITY in the US. Not only do they not pay taxes they receive money from the federal government. You subsidize the mailing of their magazines. Amazing.

Personally, I don’t give a damn what Consumers Reports says about anything. They are very involved in politics, especially the Obamacare garbage. They should not be a US charity but instead be a regular corporation. If you look at the money they make they don’t need any help from the taxpayers.
