What is the biggest issue with Tesla?

There have been hundreds of reports of sudden unintended acceleration, brake failures, and whompy wheels – collapsing wheels due to faulty car suspension. A recent study on the “Most Dangerous Cars on the Road” by iSeeCars reveals a sharper picture of the Tesla accident rate compared to other cars.

What happens to a Tesla after 10 years?
However, J. D. Power says, Tesla’s batteries tend to degrade to the extent of about 1% of range per year, which means the batteries retain 90% of their capacity after 10 years on the road; that is well within expectations for the industry. Battery and high‑voltage repairs: rare but expensive Most modern Teslas carry an 8‑year/100,000–150,000‑mile battery and drive‑unit warranty, depending on model.The short answer Most Tesla batteries are on track to last roughly 300,000–500,000 miles, or about 20+ years of typical driving, with around 10–15% capacity loss by 200,000 miles in real‑world use. In practice, the rest of the car is often the limiting factor, not the pack.
