Tesla Reliabilty-Consumer Reports gives 5 out of 100

Lincoln was worse, so all is not lost.

Reliability ratings for EVs varied widely.

The Tesla Model X and Audi E-tron ranked dead last in this segment for reliability, while the Kia Niro EV ranked “well above average reliability.” The Nissan Leaf and newer Ford Mustang Mach-E scored “above average reliability.”

Pains me to see E-Tron in the list of least reliable cars…

I guess the literal meaning of that word in french is appropos.

You ruined my day.

I swear it’s because of how buggy the infotainment is.

To be fair, consumer satisfaction scores are very high. The article from SFGate states that people seem to value the tech and innovation from Tesla more than things like poor paint and panel QC.

I do not own a Tesla and am not a Tesla fan boy, however, the article seems a little bit misleading.

How so? Something can have high initial customer satisfaction and be an unreliable POS at the same time.

Sending this to all my friends with Tesla’s as a “told you so”…

Kidding they probably all already know by now :slight_smile:

I’m certain they know…they’re replacing the bungies holding up the rear bumper as we speak!

That is hilarious

LOL but if you thought that was bad, there’s a new crypto trading platform whose name is the same as

They are well known among anthropologists because of ritual acts practiced between the young boys and men of the tribe. The Etoro believe that young males must ingest the semen of their elders to achieve adult male status and to properly mature and grow strong.[1]

Anyone have the full list?

Thank you sir but I could’ve lived my whole life without knowing this

If that’s the case I wonder about how CR evaluates reliability. I would prefer to place more weight on major mechanical or electrical issues.

Personally, I have 10k miles on my 2019 e-tron and the only issue has been an occasionally malfunctioning rear license plate bulb.

The license plate bulb is a good malfunction

NY is going overboard with these speed cameras

Got about $1,500 in tickets outstanding

You can get ticketed for malfunctioning bulbs.

What do paint defects and panel gaps have to do with reliability?

Took delivery of a 2021 M3 SR+… so far so good EXCEPT you can’t hang up a phone call, wtf.
