Agreed ... they rank WAY down there, indeed 'rank'.
The "New Beetle" led the way. However Milano has lots
of bucks, so she can throw one away and get a new one
every time the tires wear out.

Hmmm ... looking at the reliability rankings, little Kia
has really risen in the charts. One place they were #3
behind Honda and Toyota now. Must have fixed that oil
circ problem. Alas they quit offering the manual
(millenial-proof) tranny !

Now as for Tesla - in many ways they're a cheap-ass car.
Their assembly is iffy, lots of corners cut (and other
things cut accidentally) ... they sell not because
they're "good", but for eco-snobbery reasons mostly.
A Ford/GMC- made EV is probably mechanically "better"
by a good margin. The ONLY perk to EVs is that they are
mechanically SIMPLER by a large margin - only a few parts
in the drive-train. Count how many parts in a conventional
V-8 and transmission ....
