At the time, Elon Musk responded to the news by saying that many of the issues that Consumer Reports highlighted were resolved in later versions. Those problems that were found in the early models were also covered by Tesla's generous warranty packages, so people weren't taking a bath on repair fees, either. Now, the plural of anecdote is not data but it does look as if there's an issue that early adopters will have to deal with. Tesla has already responded to the piece, saying that it's swift to resolve issues and that its customers are still some of the most satisfied on the road.
