Tesla has been near the bottom of CR reliability rankings for a while, this isn’t new. My Mazda dealership had the CR list prominently on display (with Mazda at the top last year). Musk has dismissed the CR rankings while touting Teslas’s great scores on crash tests and safety, and their sales numbers and apparent popularity.
My comment was sarcastic. I know several Tesla owners who seem very happy with their choice. Customer satisfaction seems higher than the CR rankings merit. Similarly I know people who love Jeeps, although that brand also gets low marks.
Tesla’s reliability and quality problems have been discussed in numerous forums, not just CR.
It’s possible that Tesla cars are actually top quality and reliable, and the company is the victim of a conspiracy with Consumer Reports paying a part to tear Tesla down. It’s also possible that Elon Musk can’t walk on water and starting up a car business from scratch is harder than it looks.
