Reliability verdict for the 2024 Tesla Model Y
With a 49/100 score against a 76/100 segment average, the 2024 Tesla Model Y rates well below average for reliability. That gap signals elevated buyer risk relative to peers, especially for owners who prioritize trouble-free operation over the long term.
Complaints are not confined to a single subsystem. They cluster most heavily around the electrical system and driver-assistance-related categories, with additional volume in back-over prevention and vehicle speed control. The presence of a sizable “unknown or other” bucket suggests the complaint picture isn’t fully concentrated in one clearly defined area. Recall activity is elevated rather than limited, adding to the overall reliability uncertainty.
Overall, the data supports a higher-than-average reliability risk level.
