Their reliability score does not take into account severity. Most things reported are super minor, and all are within the first year. Luxury cars are the 'worst' in these surveys, because owners are pickier.
True reliability metrics are average years on the road and miles driven.
- unregistereddev 5y agoTesla ranks behind Lexus, Acura, BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln, and many other luxury cars in the same reliability studies. Even if most things are minor, they still have significantly more problems than the established automakers. I wonder whether the average amount spent on non-warranty repairs would be a good metric to add to "average years on the road and miles driven". That would hopefully remove initial defects from the first few years and also remove defects that are so minor that most people won't pay to have them fixed.
