8. Tesla Model X
The high-priced Tesla Model X boasts a neat, futuristic appearance and its super-fast acceleration gives an out-of-this-world thrill, but most of its other features and capabilities are not impressive at all.
Consumer Reports included the 2019 Tesla Model X on its list of least reliable cars, calling the electric vehicle “more showy than practical.” The 2016 and 2017 versions of the Model X were also among CR’s recommendations for used cars to avoid buying due to their “much-worse-than-average reliability.” The build quality is questionable, to say the least, and there is barely any trunk space. It seems functionality may have been sacrificed in order to perfect the innovative look of this car.
