iSeeCars used NHTSA's list of recalls from 2014-2023 to learn which of today's cars are expected to have the most recalls over an expected 30-year lifespan.
No, they are cheap because Tesla built extremely efficient factories, assembly lines and car designs from the start. Try to look up the differences between Tesla and other manufacturers like VW, Toyota etc…
They don’t do all the checks in process that are normal in automotive industry. They build them “good enough” and hope for the best. The plastics and frames don’t align and if you work in the industry and benchmark a Tesla you can quickly see where the cut corners
efficiency is when you have to recall your cars the most out of anybody because it’s more efficient to get them out the door and in to the suckers customers hands and then fix them later
Because they sell direct to consumer and not via dealerships who, due to the lobbyists and supporting legislation that they have, pretty much own the US automotive industry.
That’s why Teslas are so cheap…right?
Lack of quality control
Cheap paint work
Cheap plastics panels all over the car
Underpaid workers
Etc
Keeps the price down

suckerscustomers hands and then fix them laterI was joking, they aren’t cheap, they’re average priced for a subpar car. The Ford Maverick is $25,000, a whopping $10,000 cheaper than the Model 3.
Edit: I’m stupid, I thought the Ford Maverick was the EV model. It’s in fact the Ford Lightning, which starts at $50,000. Teslas are in fact cheap.
Are you comparing the price of an EV to a gas powered car? Thats a pretty unrealistic comparison.
I dont disagree its a subpar car in terms of quality, but for an EV its a really good price.
Why are you comparing a compact Tesla to Ford trucks? Teslas are definitely expensive. And the model 3 isn’t $35k, it’s more like $50k.
