How it scores for you10 scores
A 410-mile, supercar-quick tech flagship with dirt-cheap running costs and huge cargo, undercut by steep depreciation, unrated safety, and steering-quality gripes.
Recalled about twice as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 29 recalls was serious. About 6% 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 -4 points for its wider reputation.
No overall NHTSA crash rating yet, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — among the cheapest cars we track to run.
28 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 98% of other sedans we track.
Roomy five-seat sedan with flat floor and good legroom. 28 cu ft cargo across frunk and trunk is generous for the segment, aiding practicality.
Plaid trim delivers supercar-rivaling acceleration (sub-2s 0-60), instant torque, low center of gravity, and AWD grip. Steering feel and yoke controversy temper enthusiast appeal slightly.
Class-leading infotainment, massive touchscreen, over-the-air updates, Autopilot/FSD capability, and 410-mile range. Tesla remains a benchmark for in-car tech and software.
Quiet EV drivetrain, smooth ride, and premium cabin. Firmer suspension tuning and some build-quality inconsistencies keep it from top-tier luxury comfort.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
