Tesla’s Model S P85D Just Broke Consumer Reports’ Ratings System, Scoring 103 Out Of 100
Well, this is something you don’t see every day. According to a new report out of Consumer Reports, the Tesla Model S P85D, all-wheel-drive electric sedan, performed “better in our tests than any other car ever has, earning a perfect road-test score.”
嗯…這不是你每天都看的到的事。根據這篇從消費者報導出來的這篇新報導，泰斯拉型號S P85D，全輪驅動電氣小轎車比起市面上的車款在試驗中表現更好，獲得完美的路考成積。
Actually, it did better than that, scoring 103 points in a scoring system that, “by definition,” doesn’t go past 100.
事實上，它表現更好，在打分數系統中獲得103分。定義上來說，是不可能超過100分的。
Among the many reasons it scored so remarkably high, says the outlet: its “brutally quick” acceleration (the car soars from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds); better braking and handling than the standard Model S (which also receives high marks from Consumer Reports); and its stunning energy efficiency. Consumer Reports notes the car gets the equivalent of 87 miles per gallon.
在很多理由上來說，它獲得的分數顯著地高。經銷店表示：「極快的加速」（每小時從0到60英里只要3、5秒）比起一般的型號S擁有更好的煞車和操控（也從消費者報告中獲得很高的評分）還有它令人驚豔的節能。消費者報導也指出每加侖可以跑相當於87英里。
Of course, the car isn’t perfect, says the report. Its 200-plus mile range can be a concern on a long drive if a charging station isn’t nearby. (Consumer Reports clearly hasn’t heard of Bjørn Nyland, a programmer who recently drove 452.8 miles on a single charge in a P85D by cruising at 25 miles per hour.)
報導指出：當然，這台車也不是完美的。如果加油站不在附近的話，它的200多英里的範圍，在長程上來說可能會是一個隱憂。(消費者報導也沒聽過Bjørn Nyland，最近一個程式設計員只加了一次油開了452、8英里，平均每小時在25英里。

It’s also louder than the Model S, less (1)opulent than other luxury vehicles, and too expensive for most of us, with a price tag of $127,820.它也比型號S還大聲，比起其他奢華轎車較不豪華，而且價格有點貴--127820美金。

(1)opulent (a) 豪華的=luxurious
Still, Consumer Reports is calling it an “automotive (2)milepost” and a “powerful statement of American startup (3)ingenuity.”
仍然，消費者報導稱呼它為汽車界的一個里程碑和美國新創公司的獨創性的有力聲明。
(2)milepost(n) 里程碑
(3)ingenuity(n) 獨創力=originality
That’s one (4)enviable assessment — and it surely has the 12-year-old car company celebrating this morning.

那是一個令人稱羨的評定，這家十二年的公司一早就為此而慶祝。
