Consumer Reports is now ready to award its coveted recommendation to the Tesla Model 3 after an over-the-air software update brought big improvements to the electric car's braking performance. CR said that with the fix, the car braked from 60 miles per hour to rest in 19 fewer feet than before – putting it on par with Tesla's own estimation of a 133-foot stopping distance, a distance that CR said is "typical for a compact luxury car."

Consumer Reports had flagged inconsistent and disappointing braking performance when it tested a Model 3. In testing, the Model 3 needed as much as 152 feet to stop, which the publication said, "was far worse than any contemporary car we've tested" – and 9 feet longer than it took to stop a Ford F-150 pickup truck. That, coupled with concerns over wind noise, ride quality and the infotainment system, led CR to withhold its recommendation.
