How reliable is a Tesla?
I’m shopping for a new vehicle, and I’d really like to switch over to a greener option if possible. Can you tell me more about Tesla? How reliable are Teslas?

Look at you doing the electric slide!
Green cars
are fashionable—but Tesla
vehicles are notoriously not reliable.According to J.D. Power, Tesla has an average of 176 mechanical faults per 100 vehicles, as compared to 121 mechanical faults across the industry. In 2021, J.D. Power also ranked Tesla 30th out of 33 brands in a Vehicle Dependability Survey.
Fortunately for Tesla, they do not fall under J.D. Power’s study standards, so they’re not compared to other big automakers. Nevertheless, the electric vehicle manufacturer is still ranked poorly in Consumer Reports’ reliability and dependability ratings. Many models struggle to gain three out of five points—with some only achieving one.
