Teslas are piles of trash and I don’t understand why anyone buys them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers here are actually worse for Tesla either and there is a large amount of under reporting happening on their vehicles.

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’m honestly surprised.
I own a Jeep Renegade, never will buy a Jeep again. I guess the only saving grace is more mechanics can work on a Jeep versus Teslas.

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.

Been saying it for years: Tesla is the Chrysler of EVs.

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.

Breaking „reliability“ down to a single number doesn’t exactly give a clear picture. If we’re talking powertrain failures like you get with Jeeps, that’s a serious issue. If it’s just cameras going out or seat heaters not turning on, I don’t care as much. I still wouldn’t buy a Tesla if they had perfect reliability, but this article tells me nothing.

I’d be worried buying a used one when a battery replacement costs more than the used vehicle sometimes haha.

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.

I could not be happier to be rid of my Tesla. Constantly broken, and the absolute worst customer service I’ve ever experienced when I had to take it in to have it fixed.

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.

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.

Ah good old Jeep, the most reliable choice for unreliability.

A bit more context in the [source](https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/which-brands-make-the-best-used-cars-a2811658468/), where they note significant improvements in recent models that place Tesla in the top 10 of their predicted reliability rankings.
