This is not exactly the slam dunk it seems to be, since Consumer Reports mentions right in their article that Tesla added a bunch of new models in that time-frame, which would make issues way more likely. One of those models is much-reviled, seemingly the worst model to come out of any company in decades.

Consumer Reports also makes mention that the older models from Tesla are faring way better. Which is what usually happens.

People are way less likely to read the details, though, obviously. Clickbait works too well!
