More than two years after its launch, it seems owners are still in love with the Tesla Model S electric car.

The Tesla sedan topped Consumer Reports' annual customer satisfaction rankings this year, just as it did last year.

For these rankings, the consumer-testing group surveys owners of vehicles one to three years old and asks if they would buy their cars again.

In the case of the Model S, a whopping 98 percent of owners surveyed said "yes."

In addition to plus points like a well-appointed interior and pleasing driving dynamics, Model S owners noted the low operating costs compared to a similar gasoline sedan as one of the car's top perks.

While customer satisfaction doesn't appear to have decreased appreciably over the past year,Consumer Reports' own enthusiasm for the Model S has been dampened somewhat.

The Model S scored a 99 out of 100 when Consumer Reports first tested it, and it was later named Best Overall vehicle for 2014.

However, staffers noted a number of minor problems--including software glitches and a broken CHAdeMO charging adapter--in its 2012 test car.

Those reports are anecdotal, though, and don't affect the magazine's reliability ratings, which are based on another owner survey.

Owner-satisfaction scores are separate from those reliability rankings and Consumer Reports' own vehicle recommendations, although this year 8 out of the top 10 cars in the customer satisfaction index also received the magazine's coveted "Recommended" rating.

And while the Model S led the rankings this year, customer satisfaction appears to be high across the board.

Of the 280 models included in the survey, the average satisfaction rate was above 70 percent, and only four vehicles had less than 50 percent of owners say they would "definitely" purchase that model again.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
