This is not exactly the slam dunk it seems to be, since Consumer Reports mentions right in their article that Tesla added a bunch of new models in that time-frame, which would make issues way more likely. One of those models is much-reviled, seemingly the worst model to come out of any company in decades.
Consumer Reports also makes mention that the older models from Tesla are faring way better. Which is what usually happens.
People are way less likely to read the details, though, obviously. Clickbait works too well!
Statistics can be made to show whatever you want with the right amount of massaging. That's what articles do with every sort of report. Especially when it concerns something they can take advantage of for click bait.
This is true, but I'd be hard pressed to both name a source that's more reliable than CR, and or which didn't also suffer from needing click income. CR actually doesn't need to rely upon it as much as the usual due to their strong subscriber base (last I knew- it's admittedly been quite a while since I saw anything about their finances).
I was actually referencing the linked article from The Driver, not CR. At least CR performed the original analysis. A third party article about that analysis will almost always be less accurate and just adds another layer for analysis to be made and obfuscated.
