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 has identified five American-made pickup trucks as least reliable for 2026, based on owner surveys. This follows earlier scrutiny of models like the Tesla Cybertruck (detailed in prior coverage), with new concerns for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Canyon, Rivian R1T, and Ram 1500.
