Consumer Reports' latest study ranks Tesla dead last for reliability among used cars aged five to ten years, with a score of 31 out of 100. The electric vehicle maker trails behind Jeep, which scored 32, based on owner-reported problems from over 140,000 vehicles. While older models face issues tied to early production challenges, newer Teslas show marked improvement.

Consumer Reports announced its 2026 Top 10 Vehicles list on February 3, highlighting Ford and Tesla as the only U.S.-based brands to secure spots. The rankings draw from road tests, reliability data, and owner surveys, emphasizing fuel economy and usability. Subaru and Toyota each claimed two entries, reflecting strengths in multi-energy strategies.

A 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, formerly used as a taxi in the United Kingdom, has accumulated 238,000 miles in four years while retaining its original battery and motor. Owners report minimal breakdowns and significant savings on fuel compared to a gas-powered equivalent. This example highlights improvements in Tesla's reliability for post-2021 models, despite earlier concerns from Consumer Reports.
