Tesla's insane score in EV reliability survey + BYD's shocking result

Bought a model Y in September waited a year Austin build zero issues when I picked up the car.. Love the car so far.

As a Chinese, let me try to explain a little bit, for LI one, the complain mainly come from the stop production and off promotions, Li decide to stop producing Li one and reduce the price of it, so the new buyers are very angry at this strategy. For BYD, most complains are from the delay of delivery, people have to wait more than 3 months or even 6 months to get their byd cars, so basically, the complain with li and byd has nothing to do with reliablity but other issues¬

RELIABILITY OVER TIME is the most important metric. Delivery-day complaints aside, WARRANTY COSTS seems to be the most important metric from which reliability studies most likely draw their data.

Most complaints to BYD is about the delay in delivery.

Here in the Uk the independent not for profit Consumers Association puts Tesla near the bottom for reliability, build standard and customer service. They actually survey EV drivers and have no axe to grind.

Hello Sam from Ohio! I own a Tesla model Y as a daily driver, but before that my daily driver was a Ford C max 2015. Bought it one year old with 25,000 miles. Only replaced the 12 V battery oil changes tires and just now with 145,000 miles the brakes and rotors. Thankfully now with the Tesla model Y I likely won’t have to replace the brakes and rotors ever :-). Great Channel!!

163k miles driven so far on our 2014 Model S, and has been the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. And only 10% battery degradation. My wife and I plan on keeping it for another decade!

I'm an owner of BYD Song Plus EV for 2 years now. 63000km. So far, the issues are 1) Slight vibration if accelerating from 100 to 110 kmh due to the CV joint bad quality, I believe. But I'm ok with that, doesn't really bother me. 2) Nasty sound from brake pads, even though they're hardly used and have zero wear after 60000km

absolutely love your content. so much interesting, new, different content from other youtubers. Keep it coming! Thank you!!

I just purchased my third Tesla this past weekend. A new Model Y. It is perfect. I could not be happier. I laugh at anyone who thinks Tesla's are not well made. My Model 3 has 78,000 miles and is still perfect. I went to a dealership here in the US to buy a Bolt last year. I paid cash and the stupid dealer still made me wait in the office for 4 hours. Just nuts. This weekend I did everything in the Tesla app before going to pick it up. So I just inspected the car, opening it with my Tesla app. Once I noted it was perfect I walked in and got my card keys. I was out the door in less then 10 minutes. American dealerships suck. Tesla knows the value of your time!!! Also if anyone is interested the Bolt is a fine car for the money. Just don't road trip with it. Charging is slow on the DC side of things However since Tesla dropped the price of the Y so much I decided to buy a Y, I am selling the Bolt and allowing my kids to learn to drive with the 3. Tesla's are just safer.

Makes sense that the low end EV will be more reliable as there are less systems to fail, the same is true for hybrids which really bring along all the maintenance luggage of an ICE vehicle.

I have a 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid. Bought it new and have loved it nearly to death. 280,000 miles later I have done little maintenance. One set of front brake pads. And the rubber boots on the cv joints. It has been a truly reliable vehicle. That said November 15 I will take delivery of a Model Y. The future is brighter!

Hi Sammy! A year and 40K km. in an ATTO 3. Now six months and 20K in the Seal Premium. No complaints. Only accolades. Happy as Larry. So far so good. Lucky or something, but I want the world to know about it. If it performs in the future this way? --- my motoring can not get any better than that. For me. Money well spent. And my vehicles can not be very far behind Teslas! My opinion arguably! Greetings Sam. Adam from Adelaide. Bye.

According to Consumer Reports (a non profit consumer testing organization in the USA) since it debuted the Leaf has been one of the most reliable cars ever built .......I expect all electric cars to outperform gassers.

We've driven our "Stellar" 2020 Model Y over 28,000 miles with absolutely no problems, which I think is pretty awesome. Peace

P.S. I also have NOT purchase any gasoline since last November and still have over 3/4 of a tank left. The EV part of PHEV gets almost all of my travels without using the engine. I will have to take a longer trip on purpose to burn off the old E10 gas and get some new.

I have had my Tesla Model 3 for Two years and 40000 miles, my only warrenty repair has been a tail light assembly that failed. I have some light intrusion into the side marker camera assemblies from the integrated turn signal led. This has been repaired on the newer model 3's. It is a minor annoyance now that the side camera's are display during turn signal activation.

I saw many Chinese BYD buyers complained the extremely long waiting time before their orders got delivered. Not sure whether that is the reason BYD got so many complains. BYD has around 800K orders in hand and the number is still fast growing, but now they can only deliver slightly more 200K cars per month. Waiting for 3 months to get your car delivered is not a very good experience.

I think the most interesting thing to me about byd is its battery which can be damaged and not burst into flames unlike every other ev from what ive read to date

Every Tesla owner I know, including myself have had several service trips in one year … defective drive shafts, camera modules with water in them, lights with water in them, stabilization bars wich squeaks so hard that there is a service note on replacing them … etc … Model X and S are the most unreliable cars I have owned (yes even a recent 2020 model that supposedly had fixed these issues) I can’t really speak for the 3/Y …. Do not know anybody with them, nor did I own one.
