(MENAFN) Consumer Reports said it will retest brakes on Tesla Inc's new Model 3 sedans after Chief Executive Elon Musk promised a software update, but the potential hit to sales from the magazine's negative review have impacted the company's shares.
According to a review by the influential magazine, the car, despite many positives, had "big flaws," including braking slower than a full-sized pickup truck.
Consumer Reports' director of automotive testing said: "If Tesla can update the brakes over the air - an industry first - we'd be happy to retest our Model 3."
In mass-market, mid-sized cars, vehicles recommended by Consumer Reports account for over 80 percent of the category's sales volume, according to Barclays analyst.
