Consumer Reports gives a lower rating to Tesla Motors.
Tesla Motors is beaten by its Japanese rival, Toyota Motor Corporation. The intent to achieve better connectivity and fuel effectiveness behind the wheel is making many vehicle users grumble about their automobile’s consistency. The American magazine Consumer Reports’ yearly report on auto dependability, disclosed on Thursday, also found that the Corporation’s Lexus is once again awarded as the most reliable product, whereas Tesla’s Model S lost its position to "worse than average" estimated reliability, due to a rise in complains from people who possess the electric vehicle.
Tesla News disclosed that an official at Consumer Reports, Jake Fisher, stated, "We're seeing all types of issues [with the Model S], Some are annoying issues like squeaks in the hatch or rattles and squeaks in the sun roof, but we're also seeing major issues in terms of the charging systems."
Tesla news today confirms Consumer Reports stated that it had listened to approximately 1400 Tesla owners for this year’s survey. The fall in the estimated reliability came within two months after the US-based publication gave the newest edition of the Model S an impeccable score of 100 after a series of examinations by the publication’s vehicle team.
Tesla Motors news informed that the automaker’s spokesperson responded by stating, "Close communication with our customers enables Tesla to receive input, proactively address issues, and quickly fix problems. Model S over-the-air software updates allow Tesla to diagnose and fix most bugs without the need to come in for service.”
In general, the yearly report on what troubles people regarding SUVs, cars and trucks they have purchased within the previous three years demonstrates two areas in which automobiles have failed to deliver.
Firstly, clients are dissatisfied with the newly introduced transmissions that are not operating in a smooth manner or in few cases, not at all. Jake blamed this tendency on vehicle makers who are introducing new transmissions with additional gears, in an attempt to enhance fuel effectiveness. Nevertheless, most clients are witnessing that they now have transmissions that are worse or do not shift gears.
Automobile owners also faced frustration with their in-vehicle connectivity systems. As for top products in the magazine’s survey of greater than 740,000 automobiles possessed by its readers, Lexus claimed its position as the most trustworthy. Jake stated that Toyota’s luxurious product has been helped by the simplification of its in-car internal infotainment technology, and concentrating on enhancing general quality.
In the meantime, Fiat Chrysler managed to struggle with consistency. The Fiat brand took the last position amongst the 28 brands registered in the survey, as it came behind its famous Jeep nameplate.
It is quite likely that the survey’s finding would play a role in guiding the electric vehicle pioneer.
