We can't overlook reliability just because owners are happy with the purchase. This isn't anything new to us - Jeep Wranglers and Chevy Corvettes also have great owner satisfaction from their owners but aren't very reliable. But just because Jeep Wrangler's love their Jeeps, doesn't mean that a Tesla Model 3 buyer will love it too.

Karen - I am going to go on http://techcastdaily.com/ and discuss this stuff in detail there. I hope that I can hit many of your questions there. I clearly can't type as fast as you!

LOL!!! Don't apologize! I get it. Tesla's have a lot going for them. We are just laying out the facts. Today's cars are more reliable for sure, but over the last several years we are seeing a change in where the problems are. More electronic problems and new tech transmissions.

We have about 500 Tesla Model 3's in our survey and the owners reported several issues including broken trim, broken glass, and other issues including the electronics. While we don't weigh these as heavily as powertrain issues, the amount of problems is it an issue for buyers. If these problems are fixed like Tesla is claiming, we will see it in our data later this year.

Our coverage focused on Top Picks and the Best Cars. We did write an article about the Model 3 to help answer some anticipated questions. I'm also doing this AMA to help answer questions. (It's hard to keep up with you K.) Do you have any questions on anything besides Tesla? I'd be happy to answer.
