The Tesla’s stopping distance of 152 feet from 60 mph was far worse than any contemporary car we’ve tested and about 7 feet longer than the stopping distance of a Ford F-150 full-sized pickup.
That’s worrying, and almost as worrying is that Tesla says their braking is much faster. I’m sure plenty of fans will make comments about shorting stock, but this is Consumer Reports, and they have a very good reputation to protect.
I’m not thrilled by this tidbit either.
The Model 3’s stiff ride, unsupportive rear seat and excessive wind noise at highway speeds also hurt its road-test score. In the compact luxury sedan class, most competitors deliver a more comfortable ride and rear seat.
