Consumer Reports said it no longer lists the 2021 Tesla Model 3 as a "top pick" and reported that IIHS also plans to remove the Model 3's "Top Safety Pick+" designation. When Tesla decided to exclude radar sensors from its newer Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the U.S., it had to downgrade functionality in these cars at least temporarily. As a result, Consumer Reports and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety are suspending some key safety endorsements for those cars. Its higher-priced Model S and X vehicles, and Model 3 and Model Y cars made for markets beyond North America, still have radar technology on board. Neither system makes Tesla vehicles autonomous.
