With how often I read about Teslas falling apart, I kinda wonder if most of the breakdowns are just from those pieces of shit.

If the article says, lemme know. I can't read German.

I could only find the Model 3 in their statistic.

  • Year of registration: Breakdowns per 1000 vehicles
  • 2021: 1.0
  • 2020: 1.3
  • 2019: 4.0

The best value for 2021 is 0.8 by the Audi A4 and A5, whilst the worst is the Toyota RAV4 with 17.6.

Overall they rank the Model 3 with "very low" and "low" rate of failure.

Granted these cars are still pretty young so who knows what that figure will look like in 5 or 10 years.
