Reliability verdict for the 2022 Tesla Model Y

The 2022 Tesla Model Y posts reliability well below the segment average, indicating elevated buyer risk. The score suggests that problems are more frequent than typical for this class, and the overall pattern points to a model year that carries meaningful reliability uncertainty.

Complaints cluster most heavily around forward collision avoidance and vehicle speed control, with additional volume in the electrical system and service brakes. That mix shows concentration in driver-assistance and control functions, but not to the exclusion of other areas, since a notable share falls into broader or unspecified categories. Recall activity is elevated, reinforcing that this model year has seen more corrective action than would be considered limited.

Overall, the data supports a high reliability risk level relative to the segment.
