Maybe you missed this part: "Model S placed third-to-last out of all cars, including ICE vehicles, only besting the Dacia Logan and Dacia Duster." I.e., it is not only (seemingly?) worse than expensive cars, but also scores at the bottom of cheap and budget cars. The only cars worse are the cheap Romanian Dacia rebrands of Renault cars.
- tjansen 5y agoIf Tesla has no dealerships that offer HU+AU inspections, almost 100% of all Teslas will go to the TÜV without prior inspection by a dealership. But even owners of brand new Dacias will typically let the dealership take care of it. That's why the numbers are not really comparable.
- nautilius 5y agoBut we're not talking about brand new Dacias, we are talking about all of them.
- croes 5y agoYou can also bring a Tesla to an inspection before the HU
- nautilius 5y agoYeah, that's a weird line of argument. Because there is nominally no dealership, it's impossible to have your Tesla taken care of before doing the HU? I guess Teslas are produced - and then just rot away, and there's nothing we can do about it?
- namdnay 5y agoThat's what surprised me the most in this report - Dacias have a great reputation for reliability! They've got the benefit of 10 years' hindsight on the Renault parts bin. I wonder if there aren't other factors at work (e.g. people driving the cheapest possible cars aren't bringing them in for regular dealer maintenance?)
- nautilius 5y agoLike Teslas? ;-)
- benjamir 5y agoThere is no benefit using 10 year old Renault parts. What sucked 10years ago doesn't become better over time.
- namdnay 5y agoYes there is, because you already have hindsight on what will break often and what won’t. Dacia have the luxury of being able to take the reliable stuff and drop the unreliable stuff
