“[…] It probably comes down to the terms that we use to define unreliable car. I don’t think that’s what we heard here today, I think that people that buy a Mercedes S-class also have problems, a little this, a little that. I think the responsiveness with which Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) corrected the problems, the scope of the problems, not too bad. Remember this is the first car they have ever produced […],”  Cupps said.
