Today, we’re going to caution you about: Tesla’s Model X electric SUV.For all the love and praise lavished upon Model S, Consumer Reports took an almost instant dislike to the Model X electric SUV. Calling the 2016 edition “fast and flawed” in a headline, testers called out weaknesses in the falcon-wing door design and general reliability. As it has with so many all-new models, Consumer Reports suggested avoiding the ’16 Model X on the used market and waiting for the automaker to work out the kinks.Please consider reading up on the reliability of this car before purchasing it as a used car, suggests Consumer Reports.https://www.consumerreports.org/used-cars/used-cars-to-avoid-buying/https://www.carcomplaints.com/ is another resource for unreliable car lists.Auto Casey on Auto Correct:Ford Ranger Tremor reviewShort segment:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Uko5uTG7I&t=0sLong version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUmSHZVrsnE&t=15sWhat’s in the news: there’s a video out of a train hitting a car.
