  Far be it from me to defend the Nazi car company, however:

  While the results may seem like a damning indictment of Tesla, the report notes that the company has improved the build quality of its vehicles. All of its latest models now offer “better-than-average reliability,” and Tesla ranks among the top 10 brands in Consumer Reports’ new car predictability rankings, surpassing established automakers like Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen.

    The consumer reports article also mentions Tesla introduced multiple new models during the testing time frame and their older vehicles fared much better.

    But tech news sites know what people will click on.

  And the drivers are worse than Dodge Ram 1500s.

    Dodge Ram 1500s.

    No way! I had no idea Dodge had made cars for that long!

    Unless those were just literal Renaissance Rams (band name)

      Dodge Ram sounds like a children or drunk adult game.

  IIRC here in Finland they keep failing yearly inspections constantly because the balljoints and bushings etc are always completely shot as they can’t handle the extra weight of the batteries and massive torque from the motors.

  And if you are working on one, you might call a loose suspension component and be told it’s “within spec” as a bushing fucking bounces

    Bet the only reason the numbers aren’t even better is the Encore.
