The thrill has gone for Consumer Reports' review team over the Tesla Model S, declaring the P85D "undrivable" in a new blog post.
The publication said its tester was described as such due to issues with the automatic door handles, The Detroit Bureau writes. The handles were supposed to extend when someone with the vehicle's keys walked up to the car, failing to do so with the model in review.
With repeated attempts to enter the car in the traditional manner failing, one of the reviewers opened the front passenger door with a smartphone app to fire-up the EV. The success was short-lived, however, as the onboard electronics limited driving time to two minutes before shutting down.
Ultimately, CR called up customer service — which continues to receive high praise according to the publication's reviewers — to haul the ailing P85D to the dealership for repairs. Despite the woes suffered prior to rectification, though, the publication continues to give the Model S a strong recommendation to its readership.
