While the Tesla Model Y was listed by Consumer Reports (CR) as one of its Best Cars of 2024, the organization does not seem to hold the same sentiments for the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. This was highlighted in CR’s used cars to avoid list, which included the Tesla Model S and Model X, as well as other notable electric cars.
As per the organization, it was able to collect data from Consumer Reports members in its Annual Auto Surveys. This allowed CR to tell how many issues a vehicle has had compared to the average problem rate for all cars that were released in the same model year. As noted by Green Car Reports, over 20% of the vehicles in CR’s list of cars to avoid were electrified.
Particularly interesting was the Tesla Model S, whose 2019-2021 year models were listed by the organization as problematic. For the Tesla Model X, Consumer Reports flagged the all-electric SUV’s 2018 and 2022 model years as problematic. The 2022 Rivian R1T was highlighted by the organization as a used vehicle to avoid as well. Other electric cars in the list included the 2021 and 2023 Volkswagen ID.4, the 2019-2022 Chevy Bolt EV, and the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
