Forrester's Total Experience Score Exposes Tesla's Brand Dichotomy: Loved By Customers, Shunned By Prospective Buyers
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to Forrester's (Nasdaq: FORR) Global Total Experience Score Rankings, 2025, while Tesla enjoys a strong brand perception among its customers, it fails to connect with potential buyers, and represents the widest perception gap across more than 400 brands evaluated across 10 industries and 13 countries. The auto manufacture achieved a customer score of 72.5 points, exceeding the industry benchmark, and even outperformed highly regarded brands like Honda, Toyota, and Volvo. However, its non-customer score of 33.3 points underscores a substantial perception gap among potential buyers, signaling a disconnect that could hinder future growth for the company, if not addressed. Furthermore, these results highlight Tesla's brand paradox: weak on consumer trust, strong on customer experience. Forrester's research shows that brand experience (BX) and customer experience (CX) are two sides of the same coin. To help companies understand the duality between the two, Forrester recently unveiled Total Experience Score, a new metric that integrates scores from Forrester's Brand Experience Index (BX Index™) and its long-standing Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) to generate a single score that reflects how both non-customers and customers perceive a brand. Companies that want to grow revenue must align their initiatives along two vectors: win new customers and serve existing customers to generate revenue from retention and enrichment. The non-customer and customer components of the Total Experience Score are further plotted on a 'growth grid.' This is a snapshot of how successful a company is at both winning and serving customers, and how it stacks up against its peers. On the growth grid, brands occupy one of four quadrants: Leading. These brands' prospects trust them and hold them in high consideration, and their customers feel well-served and eager for continued engagement. Plateauing. Although these brands score highly with their existing customers, they rank low among non-customers, making it challenging to attract new customers. Churning. These brands acquire customers successfully, but churn with alacrity — which could have a potentially devastating financial outcome, especially when acquisition costs are high. Lagging. The brands in this quadrant are characterized by poor overall performance. They have low scores among both customers and non-customers. 'Our research debunks the idea that Tesla's brand is uniformly declining,' said Keith Johnston, group research director at Forrester. 'Tesla is a compelling case study in the divergence between customer experience and brand perception. While Tesla remains top-of-mind for many non-customers, boasting above-average salience, they are less likely to perceive it as trustworthy, and even less inclined to buy it. When companies align their brand promise with their customer experiences across both customer and non-customer segments, they can unlock up to 3.5x revenue growth and significantly boost customer loyalty.' Forrester's Total Experience Score, BX Index, and CX Index rankings and results are accessible within the Forrester Decisions portfolio of research services. Clients of Forrester Decisions services for Customer Experience, B2C Marketing Executives, and Digital Business & Strategy have access to the BX Index and CX Index annual benchmarking exercise to measure the interconnectedness between brand and customer experience.

Forrester Introduces The Total Experience Score: A New Metric For Measuring The Power Of A Unified Brand And Customer Experience
Aligning brand and customer experience empowers companies to outperform competitors, achieve up to 3.5x revenue growth, and earn higher customer retention and loyalty SINGAPORE, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Forrester's (Nasdaq: FORR) Global Total Experience Score Rankings, 2025, when companies align their brand promise with the experiences they deliver across both customer and non-customer segments, they are better positioned to win and serve customers — unlocking up to 3.5x revenue growth and significantly boosting customer loyalty. Forrester's research shows that brand experience (BX) and customer experience (CX) are interconnected. To drive growth, companies need a harmonized framework that evaluates both experiences in tandem. Forrester's Total Experience Score, a new metric launching today, integrates scores from Forrester's new Brand Experience Index (BX Index™) and its long-standing Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) to generate a single score that reflects how both non-customers and customers perceive a brand. The only metric that measures the impact of brand perceptions across the entire customer lifecycle, the Total Experience Score also provides an in-depth analysis to identify specific actions that companies can take to drive growth. Key findings from the global Total Experience Score rankings include: In Asia Pacific, investment firms performed strongly. The top-scoring industries in India and Singapore were investment firms, and in Australia, it was banks. The lowest-scoring industries in this region were banks in India and Singapore and auto home insurers in Australia. Europe has a large disparity between customers and non-customers. The gap between customer and non-customer scores is wide across Europe — 18 brands scored more than twice as high with customers as non-customers. The top-scoring industry in the region was investment firms in the UK, while the lowest was Swedish banks. In North America, direct banks excelled while insurers struggled. Direct banks achieved the highest average industry score in both the US and Canada, while the lowest average scores were for health insurers in the US and auto/home insurers in Canada. To calculate a brand's Total Experience Score, Forrester first analyzed the performance of 413 brands across 10 industries and 13 countries based on how more than 360,000 consumers perceived them. It then determined how these brands fared on the BX Index and CX Index. The interplay between BX and CX is further captured in a "growth grid," Forrester's snapshot of how successful a company is at both winning and serving customers and how it stacks against its peers. Companies that want to grow revenue must align their initiatives along both these vectors: Win new customers and serve existing customers to generate revenue from retention and enrichment. The non-customer and customer components of the Total Experience Score, plotted on the two axes of the growth grid, represent each of these vectors. "Driving growth requires a dual focus — shaping brand perceptions that inspire consideration and loyalty and strengthening them through consistent, customer-centric experiences," said Keith Johnston, group research director at Forrester. "While BX and CX are powerful revenue drivers individually, when integrated into a cohesive total experience, they amplify one another to deliver even greater financial returns. Companies can use the growth grid as both a diagnostic and prescriptive tool to shape their brand and business strategy. Additionally, this framework allows companies to assess their competitive standing as well as performance across brands within their own portfolio." Forrester's Total Experience Score, BX Index, and CX Index rankings and results are accessible within the Forrester Decisions portfolio of research services. Clients of Forrester Decisions services for Customer Experience, B2C Marketing Executives, and Digital Business & Strategy have access to the BX Index and CX Index annual benchmarking exercise to measure the interconnectedness between brand and customer experience.
