How it scores for you10 scores
Long range and striking design orphaned by bankruptcy - no factory support and a torrent of software complaints make it a speculator's gamble.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 2 of its 6 recalls were serious. About 2% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -10 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 92% of cars we track.
