The big picture:<\/strong> Tesla has been at the forefront of the EV revolution, delivering blazing performance, advanced driver-assistance features, and an extensive Supercharger network. However, a new survey reveals that Teslas may not be the most reliable vehicles on the market and might fall short in terms of overall ownership experience.<\/p>\n

According to Consumer Reports’ 2025 used vehicle reliability study, Tesla is the most unreliable used car brand in the US. It placed last<\/a> among 26 automotive brands with a reliability ranking of 31 \u2013 below Jeep (32), Ram (35), and Chrysler (36). The study evaluated the reliability of 5- to 10-year-old models on the second-hand market.<\/p>\n

While the results may seem like a damning indictment of Tesla, the report notes that the company has improved the build quality of its vehicles. All of its latest models now offer “better-than-average reliability,” and Tesla ranks among the top 10 brands in Consumer Reports’ new car predictability rankings, surpassing established automakers like Ford, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen.<\/p>\n

While newer Teslas are more reliable than older models, the company has issued several recalls across most of its lineup, including the flagship Model S and the all-new Cybertruck. Earlier this year, Tesla recalled<\/a> more than 46,000 Cybertrucks to fix an exterior panel that wasn’t properly secured and could detach while driving.<\/p>\n

In January, the company recalled<\/a> over 200,000 vehicles due to a software glitch affecting rearview cameras. In recent years, Tesla has recalled millions of cars for issues<\/a> ranging from autopilot bugs, brake fluid detection problems, and faulty seat-belt warning systems, to malfunctioning touchscreens and power steering failures.<\/p>\n
