About 4,750 bought a Model S while just over 3,000 bought Mercedes' top-level sedan."

"Consumer Reports came out and called the Model S the best car that it had ever tested. (It's overall performance was "off the charts," according to the magazine's head of auto testing, but it only earned 99 out of a possible 100 points because it can't be driven extremely long distances without recharging.)"
