is it?
Tesla sells the least reliable vehicles you can buy right now.
and
They also have the highest crash rate.
And
The newer models have the battery pack glued into the frame, cannot be replaced, just junked. All models have a cast aluminum frame that is brittle in crashes and cannot be repaired, leading to more write-offs, more junk.
Tesla making unreliable cars doesn't mean that EV is an inherently unreliable technology.
People complain about hybrids because they add more parts and complexity, which people assume makes them less reliable. Yet Toyota hybrids are consistently rated as among the most reliable vehicles you can buy.
My point is that the brands and their QC standards are really important.
Wow... Sounds like one brand of cars known for having QC problems has QC problems.
