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.

Being green is not the only bragging point.
There's also the acceleration, the trunk space, the UI, the free software updates.
That being said, it's really raised the bar on the $90k+ luxury vehicle market. It's also pulled a lot of people up into that market that would never have spent that much for a car before (myself included).
