Quality is for sheep or is it the other way now I am confused.

Consumer Reports: Lexus has most reliable car of 2022, Tesla has 'problems'
Consumer Reports released its annual Auto Reliability Report, showing the most reliable new trucks, SUVs and cars of 2022.

well they aren't last. Colour me surprised.
Damn that's some ugly panel fit. Why do manufacturers think that wonky donky body panel fit is ok on expensive EV's.I see what you mean..,

Consumer reports reliability ratings are only a step above a monkey with darts. That being said, if the cars you build have 80% fewer moving parts than your competitors it should be easy to hang out at the top of the chart.no you missed it.

Tesla ranks last on influential JD Power quality survey
Tesla cars suffered 250 problems per 100 vehicles, well above industry average of 166.

coincidence?
Call out any quality ranking that you do find credible, let's see where they land.
Ya think? (Buick 4th) lol
I'm seeing stories that Tesla wants to build their next-generation battery packs as a structural part of the chassis (in order to save weight). First look at Tesla's new structural battery pack - Electrek
Right now, with most manufacturers' battery packs, it is at least theoretically possible to open them and replace segments of them, if not individual cells, and it is certainly possible to unbolt the entire battery assembly from the vehicle and install it as a complete unit in a different vehicle. (For example, a car that's crashed and written-off but the battery pack remains intact, could donate its battery pack to another car that has a bad battery pack out of warranty.)
If it's built into the vehicle structure and forms one big single unit, on the other hand ...
Maybe they'll consider serviceability, and have the whole assembly bolt in, with the top of the battery assembly acting as the floor, and allow the rocker panels to tie the bodyshell together on the assembly line as well as during replacement of the battery assembly.
Or maybe they won't.
A fire in the battery pack with no separate floor to act as a firewall between it and the interior, has the potential to get very bad very fast.
I still intend for my next daily-driver to be an EV. It's still highly likely to be GM or VW. I don't need 1000 horsepower in a daily-driver. It doesn't need to get to 100 km/h in 2 seconds. Even if I were to buy a Bolt (which is the current most likely candidate), it would still be the fastest-accelerating 4-wheeled contraption that I've ever owned. And I'm pretty sure the bumpers will stay attached.

They consistenly rank the same brands as higher reliability so it is much closer to accurate than random. You have to know the problems with the survey. The survey is self selected....so are people who buy older cars with lower levels of new tech (ie things don't change much from year to year) and are older themselves more likely to have a "good experience" with the same brand? ie Buick. Buick hasn't changed their models so they have actually good reliability for the first few years. Compare that to companies that change their tech all the time and piss of people who are more (or less) likely to actually go to CR and fill in the survey. EIther way Tesla has **** reliability and CR is just one of many places you can hear about it.
Buick knows their audience....don't fill the car with crazy tech old people will have a hard time with....make the same car you did the last year and the year before.
Coming soon. The next gen.
0 to 60 in less than 2 seconds. 1100 "horsepower"
Competitors will be left baffled once again...
Tesla Shows Redesigned Model S, Promises Version with 520-Mile Range
It gets a streamlined interior compete with a yoke-style steering wheel and is out this spring, but the long-range Model S Plaid+ is coming later in the year.www.caranddriver.com
9.23 @ 155 mph 1/4 mile, that is hypercar territory sheesh
indeed.
first production car to hit 60 in under 2 seconds. reported 200+ mph top speed.
I always LOVED a good sleeper sedan (remember the Taurus SHO?)
with this normal looking sedan, you'll leave owners of mclarens, lambos and other quarter+ million dollar cars scratching their heads.....
So I'm in the midst of the EV road trip simulation described above. Left home 6:30 am, by Belleville I needed a coffee. There's a Tesla Supercharger in the parking lot of the Quinte Mall, there's a Flo 50kW CCS charger across the street. A 20 min top-up there would allow reaching Brockville instead of Kingston, and I'm in a parking lot near the PetroCanada fast charger in Brockville now. This is a good place to stop. 350kW CCS charger surrounded by restaurants and other stores. Lunch stop. A good charge here could get me to my job site (100 km) and do tonight's running around and back here tomorrow even without a charge in Ottawa. This will work.
I'm going through all the WeberAuto videos now. That guy is awesome. It's interesting to see how the different manufacturers chose to design their products. The bolt definitely has some very smart design choices (like equal length driveshafts right down to the same part number). Also buy what you need at the beginning as conversion may be expensive or impossible. To add DC fast charge to a Bolt is a new plug, two wiring harnesses, battery control box as well as another control box and then you have to try to code all of that to work (which may not be possible).
Whatever the case, I'm certain competitors are shaking in their boots.
Tesla is set to release the second generation of EV tech this spring with longer range and more power. Majority of automakers are still trying to figure out their first.
As you can see in your post. Tesla are still pushing the design envelope and are waaaay ahead in engineering and design.
I'd be sweating real hard right now if I was a CEO of a major automaker....
I wouldn't be. Tesla has done amazing things to push EV's forward both as useful vehicles and fast vehicles. EM's big head will be his downfall at some point. For instance the display recall. If that was required to be updated to a new display that was not subject to inevitable failure, that could be an incredibly expensive issue for Tesla. You either need to buyback and crush all the vehicles or design, build and install a new control system for all the vehicles.
why bother, he's delusional.
Yes, but he does bring up some valid points and seems like a decent guy. He is in fanboy territory not completely off the reservation crazy.
