How it scores for you10 scores
Class-leading range and colossal power meet startup-grade software gremlins and brutal EV depreciation - a spectacular machine best bought used at a discount.
Recalled about twice as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 19 recalls was serious. About 19% 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. Adjusted -8 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — among the cheapest cars we track to run.
22.1 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 94% of other sedans we track.
Space-efficient EV packaging yields exceptional rear legroom for the footprint.
Staggering thrust up to quad-digit horsepower with genuinely well-sorted steering and body control for a big sedan.
Glass Cockpit displays and DreamDrive are ambitious and slick, but early software was buggy and OTA-dependent.
Serene, airy cabin with excellent seats; ride leans firm on big wheels.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
