Why does Consumer Reports not recommend the Tesla Model X for 2022?

The latest Consumer Reports review of the new 2022 Tesla Model X is underwhelming.

Despite the vehicle being among the most sophisticated and powerful on the market, the testers were unimpressed.

According to their findings, the Model X had a number of technical flaws, many of which raised serious safety concerns.

The unreliable powertrain and serious deficiencies in the adaptive cruise control caused a few accidents in the simulation tests.

Despite its quick acceleration, the vehicle received a low rating due to safety and general reliability issues.

Consumer Reports is hesitant to recommend the Model X to customers until these issues are resolved,
