The latest issue of Consumer Reports has a report on car reliability. The highest reliability score of the 190 cars in the list is the Lexus GX (95 of 100). The 3 lowest scores are the Ram 3500 (score 9), the Volvo S90 (score 12) and the Tesla X (score 13). The Tesla S apparently scored even worse, but they say they no longer recommend it for that reason so it’s not on the list. I knew Tesla’s reliability was poor, but I didn’t know it was that bad. I’m happy with my new Prius (score 87).
