How it scores for you10 scores
Outrageous capability and genuinely novel engineering, sold with first-year build-quality baggage and the steep depreciation typical of EVs.
Recalled about 50% more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 11 recalls was serious. About 15% 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 $900 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 90% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Full-size crew cab with a flat floor; generous space for five adults.
Absurd acceleration for a truck plus quick steer-by-wire responses; sheer mass and size cap the fun.
Steer-by-wire, 48V architecture, huge screen and OTA updates — among the most technically ambitious vehicles on sale.
Roomy, quiet cabin with adaptive air suspension; stiff structure and heavy wheels give it an occasionally brittle edge.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 11,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
