On: BMW Overtakes Tesla in European EV Sales for First Time

[nicce]

Depends on how you measure it. Teslas rank at #1 as the most faulty electric car in existence.

Everything else than the battery or motors are poor quality if you compare to any other above average brand.

[porphyra → nicce]

I would rather take panel gaps and paint chips than faulty battery or motors. Most sources would agree that small cosmetic defects aside, Tesla has the quite good drivetrain and battery reliability.

[cobalt → nicce]

most faulty by raw numbers or by %?

Also poor quality of what?

[nicce → cobalt]

By % of failing mandatory inspections in EU.

> Also poor quality of what?

Basically anything other than battery or motors. Interior build. One big touchscreen to make anything as cheap as possible. Brakes. Suspension.

EVs literally have less wearing parts by design and somehow they managed to made these few ones worse than on average.
