How are any electric car makers so unreliable. They’re so mechanically simple.
How the hell do you fuck up so badly that you’re the bottom of the list Rivian??
“Since EV technology is still relatively new, automakers continue to work the bugs out of their powertrains and platforms,” Elek says. “But we also see issues with their non-EV components, such as the latest infotainment and electronic features.”

Surprised to see VW below Tesla.

I own a Skoda (VW group) that is extremely reliable. 25 years old almost 500.000Km. Not a single major repair, except for consumables like clutches, timing belts a starter motor, and such. It doesn’t burn or leak oil. Refrigerant is changed every few years, but never needs topping up. The car feels solid.
I have heard from owners of newer VW group cars that they are not as solid and reliable nowadays.

It’s only the perceived reliability and Tesla owners are still young in the sense that their experience is only few years old whereas you have 100 years of VW experience.
