People buying them up to tow with their cybertrucks 😆

Pretty sure they aren’t. It’s just number of problems divided by the number of vehicles.

They do that on individual models, but a lot of the overall numbers are just pretty basic averages without any useful statistical analysis behind them.

It’s interesting, companies building really good EVs seem to have no problem selling them, and are expanding production. Companies building mediocre and overpriced EVs are making lots of excuses and backtracking. It’s almost as if the quality of your product matters or something?

They do rate older cars reliability but Im pretty sure the automaker ratings are based on only the last few model years, which means vehicles that are only a couple years old.

CR’s “reliability” ratings are more like “initial quality” since they really only look at problem areas in the first few years and not really long-term reliability of vehicles over time.

Agreed. This will fail miserably at the price point. I was expecting more volvo xc90, but it’s not even really as big as the xc60. More like a slightly differently packaged xc40. I have no idea how they expect to get $80k for this thing. At slightly more expensive than the p2 I get it (under $60k), but at $80k no way!

Um it definitely isn’t irrelevant. They can definitely easily create barriers to import of Chinese manufactured vehicles, but once those vehicles begin being manufactured in Mexico, which is within the next few years, USMCA (new NAFTA) comes into play and it becomes extremely difficult to keep them out as long as they meet all other requirements for new vehicles.

Sounds like the database only has information for the ICE blazer?

Yet our prices are still determined by the global price.
