Tesla makes some of the least reliable cars, Consumer Reports says (2021)
Tesla no longer recommended by Consumer Reports partly due to reliability issue (2019)>
Interesting relevant quote from the 2021 report: "Problems typically didn't involve the motors or battery, but rather components like finicky in-car electronics."
Thanks, and yes I’ve heard some comments from friends about some of the finicky nature of the accessories. The constant software tweaks, feature deployments and bug fixes tend to rattle the non Techie people from my limited observations. These are the same people that cannot operate a PC or smart TV well and expect a new car, built from scratch, to operate like their old legacy manufacturer vehicles?
It doesn’t work that way. My new Toyota Tacoma OffRoads tech package it is so vastly different than my Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2013 that I often have to think twice before adjusting something in it. That’s just what technology does as it matures. Tesla is just so far ahead of the curve from everybody else that so many people are trying to catch up to it and they’re not exactly tech savvy people themselves.
