If you read the article you posted, you’d see it say that the EV problems referenced have to do with paint, trim, climate, as opposed to engine, transmission, etc. In other words, not major issues.
“Tesla Motors, the market leader in EV sales, continues to have issues with body hardware, paint and trim, and climate system on its models, but are not as problematic for motor, charging, and battery. At number 14, Tesla is the second-highest ranked domestic automaker in CR’s brand rankings. The Model 3 and Model Y have average reliability while all the other Tesla models–the S, and X–are all below average.“
This has been my experience too. In 5 years I have not had any major issue with my electric car preventing me from driving it other than a flat tire. There have been a couple minor other issues, such as a window not automatically closing all the way and a software issue with the display but they were minor and tesla came to my house to fix it for free while the car was in my driveway. I don’t think there’s enough room in this comment box to type out all the major problems I had with my previous ICE vehicle in the 5 years before that.
