A score of 103 out of 100 could be called kind of... Insane. This is exactly what the Tesla Model S P85D in 'Insane' mode received during testing by Consumer Reports (CR), a score so off-the-charts good that it actually broke the scale and forced CR to revise how they measure things. The official score with the new, updated methodology will be 100/100.
What made the Tesla break the ratings was the combination of supercar performance and extreme energy efficiency. These things haven't historically been found together, and so CR never had a car that go such high scores in both columns.
Impressive, but alas...traffic.

Bullshit. The distance between Colorado Springs and Denver is approximately 60 miles and people commute across that to work daily here.

Are you saying that with Tesla's 200 mile range that those people you cite could not manage a 120 mile round trip commute?
Nevertheless, the source I cited before says that the average daily commute for Denver, CO, is 8.5 miles. Is that inaccurate? Are those who commute from Colorado Springs to Denver the median commuter, or are they the outliers? Because 17 miles round trip is pretty do-able for even plug-in hybrids running in pure battery mode.
Washington DC delenda est.
