Critical 12V battery failure: causes complete vehicle shutdown, inability to open doors, renders car inoperable. Frequency: very frequent.
Major traction battery cell failures: results in reduced charging capacity (e.g., only charging to 70-80%), requires extensive, lengthy repairs under warranty. Frequency: recurrent.
General reliability and multiple breakdowns: vehicles spending months at dealerships for undiagnosed or unresolved issues, requiring numerous loaner cars. Frequency: recurrent.
Slow charging speed and subpar real-world range: charging speeds often below advertised 100kW, real-world range often below EPA estimates, making it uncompetitive with newer EVs. Frequency: recurrent.
Annoying high-pitched whine from motors: particularly noticeable around 50 mph (80 km/h). Frequency: recurrent.
