"New models sold by the Elon Musk-led company are among the most reliable cars out there, with Tesla ranking ninth in the overall 2026 reliability chart. That includes all automakers, not just those that make EVs. What's more, Consumer Reports said that the Tesla Model Y is the most reliable new EV on the market today, though it still lags behind hybrid-powered models, which use older technology that has been tried and tested over several decades."
"Hyundai, Kia and Genesis EVs are the least reliable new cars from the three automakers' portfolios, with many complaints being related to the internet-famous Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The three companies have issued several recalls to fix the issue, but many owners have reported online that the software patches have done little and that the core of the problem is still unknown."
New Tesla models rank among the most reliable cars overall, with Tesla placing ninth in the 2026 reliability chart and the Model Y identified as the most reliable new EV. Hybrid-powered models still outperform EVs in overall reliability due to mature technology. Older Tesla vehicles, particularly those five to ten years old, exhibit poor used-car reliability and rank at the bottom compared with brands such as Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, GMC and Kia. Production ramp-up efforts contributed to reliability problems in earlier Tesla models. Hyundai, Kia and Genesis EVs report widespread complaints tied to the Integrated Charging Control Unit, prompting recalls and disputed software fixes.
