The magazine picks 10 models that are retro, and not in a good way

3rd place: Tesla Model X

The only electric model to have made its way onto this list of dubious distinction, the Tesla Model X is also the most expensive. Consumer Reports identified quality issues with the body panels and onboard electronic systems, and cited problems with noises and cracking in the cabin. Other negative points includes inadequate sound insulation and comfort, two element deemed to be not up to par with what’s found in the Tesla Model S. Finally, there are those famous/infamous falcon wing doors, which just take too damn long to open, apparently.
