Following the CNBC link also says: "but Consumer Reports put the Model 3 in the middle of the pack and still recommends it."
I'm also wondering what's the relative ranking vs. other BEVs and whether or not the ranking is weighted by some of the earlier production vehicles that had more issues.
I've had endless issues with ICE cars. Never owned a Toyota. But did own a Dodge, an Audi, a Subaru, all of which had lots of problems, some of them resulting in getting stuck and needing to get towed, the last one was ~1500km from home in the middle of nowhere with the Subaru and a seized engine which is when I decided to get the Tesla. Maybe just my luck.
I think I feel less stress in my Model 3 which so far hasn't let me down. But ask me again in 10 years. No oil changes. No stinking gas stations.
$$-wise I think I agree. But if the Model 3 cost $9k I think we both know which one you'd get...
- wumpus 5y agoMy 3rd Subaru had 2 head gasket replacements under warranty, and needed a 3rd when I sold it to buy a Tesla. It's as if everyone makes decisions based on their personal experiences. I know I do. (It was a design flaw that was unusual for Subaru -- but there's no excuse for Subaru not fixing the part after it was shown to be unreliable.)
