Today's Story Highlights

Tesla Stock Plummets After Consumer Reports Do-Over
Tesla Motors' stock price on Tuesday dropped more than 11 percent
following Consumer Reports ' withdrawal of its favorable recommendation
for the company's Model S sedan. Poor reliability contributed to the
decision to withdraw its recommendation, but the magazine noted that 97
percent of Tesla owners surveyed said they would buy a car from the
company again despite the problems.
