May 23, 2018

Consumer Reports will re-test Tesla's Model 3 if the company improves its vehicle braking distance.

May 23, 2018—Consumer Reports will re-evaluate Tesla's Model 3 if the car maker improves the vehicle's braking distance, reported CNBC.

Consumer Reports said earlier this week that the Model 3 had the worst stopping distance of any contemporary vehicle it has tested, including the Ford F-150 pickup truck, according to the report.

Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, said on Twitter, the issue might be fixable through an over-the-air update to the car's firmware.
