Consumer Reports scoring system is always weird, and tailored to the preferences of whomever creates it.
Declaring a car perfect that has some pretty severe limitations in terms of range, etc is pretty ridiculous, but that's pretty standard fare for them. Or touting 85 equivalent MPG when you can purchase a similar gasoline vehicle at a significant discount vs. Tesla that performs as good or better.
In ye olden times with CR, you essentially lost 10 points for not being Honda.
