"The results offer a rare piece of good news for Tesla, which has faced increasingly tough questions after three cars caught fire in less than two months. This week, U.S. regulators launched a safety probe into the Model S.

"Owners of the Tesla Model S gave it the highest owner-satisfaction score Consumer Reports has seen in years: 99 out of 100," the magazine said.

After the Model S, the Porsche Boxster sports car came in second place with a score of 95. The Porsche 911 sports car and Chevrolet Volt, made by General Motors Co, both got a 91."

That's quite an interesting model spread!

It is. I'm trying to understand WHY Tesla owners are so satisfied.

If you're rich enough to afford a Tesla, is life otherwise pretty good?

Or maybe Tesla owners are generally optimistic.
