Laut Besitzerumfrage schlägt Tesla Jeep bei der Bewertung der am wenigsten zuverlässigen Gebrauchtwagen nur knapp

„It’s a Tesla thing, you wouldn’t understand“

Jeep. The American benchmark for shitty

QC has fallen so steeply at Tesla. I had a 2019 Model 3 for a while, it was my favorite car to drive and never had any issues or repairs (aside from bumper when I got rear ended), but every model year I’ve seen since has been riddled with design change issues, manufacturing defects, etc. Even if Elon hadn’t gone full Nazi I still wouldn’t buy a Tesla due to the terrible decline of their QC, they only care about growth not quality or sustainability.

Ridden in a few Jeeps and they are so cheap and shitty. One time I went to roll down the window of my friend’s brand new Commander and my finger went right through it and the switch went all the way down into the door panel. Had to take the whole panel apart to get it.

The few people I have known (including the aforementioned friend) all had drivetrain problems within a couple years

„Tesla, for instance, is ranked low in terms of used-car reliability when looking at how their models from 5 to 10 years ago hold up. The company faced numerous issues years ago, as it introduced all-new models and ramped up production, sometimes even working on cars in a factory parking lot. However, the American automaker has made significant strides, and its latest models have demonstrated better-than-average reliability, placing the brand in the top 10 of our [new car predicted reliability rankings](https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/who-makes-the-most-reliable-cars-a7824554938/).“

So its lumping a bunch of old Model S‘ and early 3s which tanked the score. Looking at new car rankings, the Model Y seems to individually be one of the highest rated, with the Cybertruck tanking the average score.

I didn’t have a necessarily bad experience with my Tesla, but I also didn’t keep it long. They were, at the time, the best looking of available electric cars, which probably helped their early sales. But, after owning one, I’d keep away from the used market.

Now there are a lot of nice looking, reliable, electric cars without the “trap you inside while the car burns” feature.

With so few moving parts, I have a strong suspicious that this is survivorship bias in reverse: The people that sell their Tesla’s are the ones that have massive problems with them.

There’s kind of a „death spiral“ involved there: when used car reliability numbers tank, prices on those cars go way down, which discourages people from selling them, especially when they’re underwater on a car loan for a very expensive car.

Don’t drive a fascist lemon.

Oh did Musk forget to throw money at closing this institution like he did the safety board?

too many trash gizmos, and ones that are experience-breaking when they act up.

like, I don’t want a massive PC in my car failing when I’m on the road. we perfected the gauge cluster like 40 years ago and they’ve been looking for ways to make it more expensive and less reliable ever since.

This is so misleading and wrong. I’ve owned two Tesla’s now. 2020 model 3 and now a 2025 model Y. These have been the most reliable cars I’ve ever had. You guys can keep shitting on Tesla because you hate Musk, but Tesla’s are very good cars with very little required maintenance.

wow, this is dark..

No wonder so many douchebags are as violently angry as they are… The crapmobiles they’ve financed for 108 months at 25% interest are falling apart faster than Alabama infrastructure.

Apparently not even vaunted Tesla’s OTA capability is enough to paper over quality and design decision issues while meticulous attention to detail in design and manufacturing wins out over gee-wiz wouldn’t it be neat gimmicks.
