Earlier this week, Consumer Reports lowered its ratings for Tesla’s Model S and Model X vehicles, because the company had yet to enable an automatic emergency braking safety feature, six months after it was announced. Following the rating downgrade, Tesla began rolling out the feature to its vehicles, but only at speeds of up to 28 miles per hour.
The magazine published its report on Wednesday, and deducted points from the two models because Tesla hadn’t activated the system. Tesla announced a suite of updates back in October, including the automatic emergency braking system, but noted at the time that its wouldn’t be activated until they were “robustly validated.”
