This is the best summary I could come up with:


CR is known for buying cars for its own test fleet, but for its annual auto reliability survey, the organization cast a wider net.

Hybrids have 19 potential trouble areas—all the above minus the charging problem—and EVs have just 12, since they go without things like internal combustion engines, fueling systems, or transmissions.

And as our data has consistently shown, reliability-minded consumers would be best served by forgoing brand new vehicles in their first model year," said Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at CR.

Tesla, despite a legion of horror stories, finds itself very middle of the pack in terms of overall reliability, and in general it builds dependable EV powertrains—less so bodywork, paint/trim, and climate systems.

In general, the Asian OEMs dominate the upper end of the reliability chart, although Mini, Porsche, and BMW also made the top 10.

As noted, Tesla placed pretty solidly mid-pack, along with other domestic brands like Buick, Ram, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and Dodge.


The original article contains 896 words, the summary contains 161 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Not surprising at all. If you're buying from Western manufacturers then you are getting ripped off.
