I wouldn't call it as the title of the article would have it, but it does have its flaws. I own a MYLR '23 with about 10000kms on it. Windshield is shit (any small rock will damage it. Had that happen in the second day of ownership). Replaced control arms, as they clicked pretty much after the first week of taking ownership. Now there's a creaking noise that's apparently a bit worse (only happens in drive). I'll probably have to decide if it's worth keeping after another year, assuming these warranty issues keep popping up. Other than that, the car is just so easy to live with (came from a 2012 tiguan). I would say it's a 4/5. Which is fine.
Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective
Wheels falling off cars at speed.
Suspensions collapsing on brand-new vehicles.
Axles breaking under acceleration.
Tens of thousands of customers told Tesla about a host of part failures on low-mileage cars.
The automaker sought to blame drivers for vehicle ‘abuse,’ but Tesla documents show it had tracked the chronic ‘flaws’ and ‘failures’ for years.
