So they start the article with describing one case of technical failure. Then they state: "Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts." In what time frame? "The chronic failures ... date back at least seven years." Okay, now I'd be interested: How does this number compare to other automotive companies relative to the time frame observed?
If you go by the latest analysis ot TÜV (in Germany have to go through mandatory technical checks for roadworthiness, results arw aggregated and available for interested parties), Teslas have one of the worst pass rates at the initial three year check for new cars, it is 2 year intervalls after that. Over 40%, EDIT: 14% as someone else cited from the TÜV wesite in another comment but still at the bottom of 111 models, of Teslas failed the 3 year test the first time, this is right at the bottom of all cars from all brands. Among the stuff failing: Suspension and steering. So that checks out.
Question. Are you a Tesla owner? I’m not, yet every Tesla owner I know has stated they have all experienced quality issues and operational problems needing repair.
I read of Musk having teams in Tesla to deny & harass customers who experience now known issues.
Not the sign if a stable company or quality focused or providing good service.
