@OBWAT J.D. Power and Consumer Reports both rank Tesla at the bottom of the pack when reliability is tested. It's reported that Tesla vehicles have an average of 171 mechanical issues per 100 vehicles. For reference, the average number for most automakers hovers around 120 problems per 100 vehicles.
“Average repair costs were $5,552 for Teslas, $4,474 for non-Tesla EVs, and $4,205 for combustion vehicles in the quarter.” On average, a damaged Tesla on costs $1,347 more to repair than a damaged gas-powered car.
Tesla vehicles, particularly the Model S and Model X, have heavy battery packs located at the bottom of the car. This low center of gravity enhances stability and handling, but it also means that the tires bear a greater load. Consequently, this increased weight can lead to more frequent tire punctures and blowouts.
Firefighters said they can usually extinguish a fully engulfed regular car fire with about 500 gallons of water — but it took fire crews about 12,000 gallons of water to put out this Tesla after it caught fire on a Pennsylvania highway.
