In the early days of Tesla Model S, they strived to get people back on the road quickly, and they replaced entire subsystems when they didn't really need to. If you search the news group "tesla motors club", you'll find discussion of how telsa found a number of tiny tweaks that they could use to adjust some of these minor issues. They were not drive train failures really. I have driven about 40k miles, no drive train failures (anecodotal, blah blah).
- dragontamer 11y agoEven if they weren't technically drive unit failures, it is clear that a number of Tesla Model S cars have failed in some form. They were forced to be taken back to the shop and "fixed". The reports are clear: Tesla has excellent consumer service and warranties. Owner satisfaction is EXTREMELY high, despite the issues. So Tesla is doing everything they can to address the issue, and this is commendable. However, if you actually compare the reliability scores on pure numbers, it is clear that the Tesla Model S has a problem. It may not necessarily be drive unit related, but there is clearly a problem that affects a huge swath of people.
