Mazda has really stepped up their game lately. I love my Miata.

#5Electric vehicles (EVs) performed worse than gas-powered models in the study. EVs had 240 complaints per 100 vehicles on average, plug-in hybrid vehicles had 239, and gas-powered cars averaged 175.
This never fails to baffle me. An ICE vehicle has a hundred times as many moving parts as a BeV. Just how much lower is the BeV production quality to give them more problems?

That's tragic. My 1980 and 2007 Toyotas are both going strong.

#7Initial quality always seemed like a silly measure to me. I'm more interested in total cost of ownership through 150k-200k miles. Own a GM for 90 days vs own a GM for 15 years and you'll have vastly different results, IMO.

#8J.D. Power isn’t an unbiased review.
There is zero chance that Dodge and Chevy have real world reliability greater than makes like Toyota, Honda and Mazda.
They also play games like counting “problems” without a weight. Infotainment problem fixed in firmware and transmission problem both increment the count by 1?

i believe it given 2 neighbors own teslas. One neighbor has had his car in the shop longer then he's owned it. The other is on his 5th warranty call.
Yes I'm sure they are outliers but with all new tech people that are early adopters will pay the price.
