原文标题：
Consumer Reports raises Tesla Model S reliability rating to
"above average", also rates Model 3 reliability sight unseen
消费者报告将Tesla Model S的可靠性评价提高到"高于平均水准"
内文：
Consumer Reports has released their latest reliability rating for the Model
S, upgrading its rating from “average” to “above average.” This is the
first time Tesla has received an “above average” rating from Consumer
Reports.
消费者报告将Model S的可靠性评级从"平均水准"提升到"高于平均水准"。
这是第一次Tesla从消费者报告手中拿到"高于平均水准"的评价。
In the same article, Consumer Reports also mentions their “predicted
reliability” for the Model 3. They give these ratings out based on previous
experience with a manufacturer and whether a new model is a significant
departure from previous models – and this is not unique to Tesla, they give
predicted reliability scores to other cars too. Since the Model 3 doesn’t
share many parts with the Model S but is expected to be less complex, and
since Tesla has had difficulties with reliability of early VINs before,
Consumer Reports is taking the middle ground as far as predictions go and
predicts average reliability out of the Model 3. They will not have an
actual rating until owners have time to report back with their real-life
experiences.
这段在讲Model 3的可靠性预测，有兴趣请自己看
Consumer Reports has changed their reliability ratings multiple times on the
Model S. Originally, Model S reliability was “average,” then temporarily
dropped to “below average” when Tesla had a batch of drive unit failures
which prompted service trips for many owners. The repair was relatively easy
and most cars would be turned around in a day or less, but nevertheless the
number of service visits from owners was too high for CR’s scale, and this
bumped the Model S down in reliability.
消费者报告曾经多次改变Model S的评级，最初是"平均水准"，
而后暂时变成"低于平均水准"，Model S曾有一批驱动单元故障，促使车主回厂检修，
虽然大多数车辆在一天或更短的时间内就解决了问题，但对于消费者报告来说，
车主的平均回厂次数过高了，导致可靠性评价降低。
This forced CR to rescind their “recommended” label, despite them having
rated Model S as the “best car ever” and Tesla consistently topping owner
satisfaction ratings. Once Tesla worked out the drive unit issues, CR’s
rating went back up to average, which has been improved upon today.
这促使了消费者报告撤销对于Model S的推荐，
尽管他们已经将Model S评比为最好的汽车，而且车主也有最高的满意度
With Model X receiving “below average” reliability due to early unit
problems with doors and the large windshield (but no significant powertrain
problems) – many of which Tesla says they’ve fixed – Model S’ “above
average” rating marks the first time Tesla has received this score from CR.
And it shows that Tesla is improving in reliability as a company, and the
Model S is improving in reliability as a car.
Model X由于鹰翼门与大型挡风玻璃的问题(但没有明显的动力总成问题)，
Model X得到了"低于平均水准"的可靠性评级，其中许多问题Tesla表明已经被修复了。
而Model S第一次得到"高于平均水准"的评级，
代表Tesla做为一家公司正在提升他们的可靠性。
This upward momentum “shows promise” for the Model 3’s predicted
reliability rating, giving them “more confidence in the Tesla Model 3.”
这种往上的态势显示了对于Model 3可靠性评级的希望，让他们对3更有信心。
Consumer Reports is careful to qualify their claims about the future
reliability of the Model 3. They distinguish between actual ratings from
customer experience and predicted ratings based on the manufacturer and
newness of the model, and talk about the company’s history and previous
statements about the car.
On the one hand, all car models tend to have more problems with reliability
on early VINs than late VINs, and Tesla is no exception to this. On the
other hand, Model 3 is expected to be less complex than Model S and much less
complex than Model X, and Tesla’s reliability as a whole seems to be
improving.
Nevertheless, CR decided to bunt this one and default to a predicted “average
” reliability for the Model 3, which is the minimum required to achieve CR’
s “recommended” mark. Of course, Consumer Reports has not owned a car nor
have their members reported on the Model 3 in the annual reliability survey,
so this is all guesswork so far, and will be updated next year when owners
have had their hands on the vehicle for a while.
Tesla commented on Consumer Reports’ Model 3 rating:
“Consumer Reports has not yet driven a Model 3, let alone do they know
anything substantial about how the Model 3 was designed and engineered. Time
and time again, our own data shows that Consumer Reports’ automotive
reporting is consistently inaccurate and misleading to consumers.”

Tesla的车小毛病多也算不上什么新闻了
这次反而是在可靠性评价上拿到"高于平均水准"的评价变成了新闻
不过就算如此，Tesla还是有着最高的车主满意度

但Model 3的客群容忍度会更低，希望赶工之余也要维持好品质才行呀~
期待消费者报告早日拿到Model 3来做测试，给出其应有的评价。
