Any article that includes the words "Alfa Romeo" and "reliable" on the same page should be questioned.....

There are quite a few Teslas around here where I live and I would say that when I pull up to one at the lights, one out of four has embarrassingly out of alignment doors/panels.

Tesla really need to get on top of their QA. Based on what I've seen, quality seems to be very poor indeed and the article doesn't surprise me at all.

I personally wouldn't touch one at those prices...

This article is strange and seems like all the car brands that I thought were reliable are not reliable at all and vice versa...

In the following survey Tesla scores only 52.4%:
https://www.whatcar.com/news/2017-wh...-survey/n16183

"In contrast, nearly 38% of Tesla Model S owners reported faults, with issues split fairly evenly between bodywork, interior trim and the cars’ electric motors. Owners also told us about broken exterior door handles and other bodywork problems, as well as some faults with exterior lights. Although all cars were fixed under warranty, some were off the road for more than a week."

...and yet, SOMEHOW, Tesla virtually owns the electric market? ...and people keep buying them!

...and BMW can't seem to figure out how (or why) to make an EV with over 200 miles of range.

curious...
