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.

HEY, I would do the same! A whole bunch of people would do the same! Unfortunately, nobody offers me an EV for $8K. We are dealing with quite different prices - and that's exactly what I'm trying to say [soylentnews.org].

It's more expensive here [cargurus.com]. Otherwise... perhaps, perhaps. (But in my own case I have only one parking spot without a charger, and an EV cannot be my only car. That is not related to the price, of course.)
