As you're probably aware, Tesla seems to succeed in a big way when it comes to studies by outlets like Consumer Reports and J.D. Power about just as often as it fails in a big way. This is because Tesla owners absolutely adore the company and their cars, though they're also frustrated with quality and service issues.

In Consumer Reports' latest study related to vehicle satisfaction, the Tesla Model 3 took the top spot across all four generations surveyed. The publication surveyed a whopping 420,000 people from all age groups, divided by generation: Millennials, Generation X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation.

We would have guessed that perhaps the Model 3 would place at the top of the list for Millennials, or even Generation X or Baby Boomers, though the Model S might be expected to take the win for the older generations. However, the fact that the Model 3 was the top choice in every group is fascinating, not to mention the Model S is close behind in some groups. The Model X even places well among Gen Xers.

Consumer Reports' survey asked people to rate the cars based on the driving experience, styling, comfort, value, and audio controls. In the end, it questioned whether each person would buy the same car over again.

The rankings are as follows (via Teslarati):
