If Tesla has few cars per capita in the shop but their cars are newer on average than other models, then that is not a fair comparison. And where did you get the data that Ford etc. is in the shop more often? And where did you get the idea that CR has different goal posts for Tesla?
Also, just because Tesla claims they fixed their problems in manufacturing does not mean that those problems don't exist in the actual cars out there. And so what if it's covered by warranty; the problems are still there.
- DiabloD3 8y agoThat's an entirely fair comparison. Has CR ever yanked a recommendation before because of temporary manufacturing variances? I don't think they have. As no, it doesn't mean the problem vanished, but you should already know that when the car industry has problems in their cars, they don't fix them, and it often leads to deaths. OTOH, Tesla believed that an under-armored battery pack could lead to injury and proactively fixed it and also applied to fix (more armor) to all of the cars on the road. So, yes, it is an entirely fair comparison and there is goalpost moving happening all the time with Tesla. I just never expected CR to do it.
