Tesla Model 3 Loses CR Recommendation | Reliability – Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports can no longer recommend the newest Tesla—
the Model 3 electric sedan—
because members say they’ve identified a number of problems with their cars, including
issues with its body hardware,
as well as paint and trim.
CR members reported these results in our annual reliability survey, which includes data on about 470,000 vehicles.
But reliability has been a weak spot for Tesla.
According to our survey results,
problems with the suspension,
especially with the 2017 model year, have been an issue for the Model S luxury sedan,
while hardware problems—especially concerning its unique falcon-wing doors—have plagued the Model X SUV (neither is currently recommended by CR).
And now our latest survey data has surfaced numerous problems reported by Model 3 owners as well, which is why CR has removed its recommendation for the vehicle.
